Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sorghum: factors that affect transformation efficiency

The results presented in this work support the hypothesis that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sorghum is feasible, analogous to what has been demonstrated for other cereals such as rice, maize, barley and wheat. The four factors that we found most influenced transformation were: the sensitivity of immature sorghum embryos to Agrobacterium infection, the growth conditions of the donor ...

Modeling productivity and transpiration of Pinus radiata: climatic effects.

Climatic effects on annual net carbon gain, stem biomass and annual transpiration were simulated for Pinus radiata D. Don at Canberra and Mt. Gambier. Simulations were conducted with an existing process-based forest growth model (BIOMASS, Model 1) and with a modified version of the BIOMASS model (Model 2) in which response functions for carbon assimilation and leaf conductance were replaced wit...

Seasonal Shift in Climatic Limiting Factors on Tree Transpiration: Evidence from Sap Flow Observations at Alpine Treelines in Southeast Tibet

Alpine and northern treelines are primarily controlled by low temperatures. However, little is known about the impact of low soil temperature on tree transpiration at treelines. We aim to test the hypothesis that in cold-limited forests, the main limiting factors for tree transpiration switch from low soil temperature before summer solstice to atmospheric evaporative demand after summer solstic...

evapo-transpiration estimation in taleghan drainage basin using modis images and sebal model

estimation of evapo-transpiration is necessary in cases such as irrigation planning, determining of evaporation of the water bodies, water balance assessment, estimation of runoff and watershed management and ecological and meteorological studies. evapo-transpiration can be determined precisely using field measurements. however, these methods provide evapo-transpiration just for limited areas f...
