AthaMap generates a map for cis-regulatory sequences for the whole Arabidopsis thaliana genome. AthaMap was initially developed by matrix-based detection of putative transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) mostly determined from random binding site selection experiments. Now, also experimentally verified TFBS have been included for 48 different Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors (TF)....

In global greening, biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions and their influencing factors have been considered due to significant roles in the biosphere atmosphere. Many studies reported relationships of BVOC with environmental plant ecophysiology. However, direct indirect effects on remain unclear, causal between ecophysiology are ambiguous. We measured isoprene monoterpene from do...

This study is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of the MODIS Land Surface Temperature (LST) product as a source for calculating spatially distributed daily mean air temperature to be used as input for hydrological or environmental models. The test area is located in the Italian Alpine area. The proposed procedure solves, by empirical approaches, the problem of relating LST to the Air Tempe...

Machine learning (ML) was used to assess and predict urban air temperature (Tair) considering the complexity of terrain features in Yerevan (Armenia). The estimation performed based on Partial Least-Squares Regression (PLSR) model with a high number (30) input variables. relevant parameters include newly purposed modification spectral index IBI-SAVI, which turned out strongly impact Tair predic...

Spring forest ephemerals often create homogeneous patches in the understory; however, our knowledge about their stand level characteristics is deficient. Our aims were to examine, parallel phenology, Net Ecosystem CO2 Exchange (NEE) and evapotranspiration (ET) fluxes as well dependence of NEE on leaf area (LA), air temperature (Tair) light (PPFD) three spring geophytes that are widespread Europ...

Most existing greenhouse decision support systems only consider external environmental factors, such as soil and atmosphere, rather than plant response. A conceptual plant-response-based strategy for irrigation controls tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedling cultivation in operations was proposed. Because stomatal conductance (gsw) is a comprehensive indicator of plants, moisture, atmospheric c...

Environmental factors and human activities play important roles in carbon fixation and emissions generated from croplands. Eddy covariance measurements in a drip-irrigated, film-mulched cotton field were used to analyze the relationships between carbon fluxes and environmental factors in Wulanwusu, northern Xinjiang, an arid region of Northwest China. Our results showed that the cumulative net ...

To predict the difficulty of testing a wire stuck-at fault, testability analysis algorithms provide an estimated testability value by computing controllability and observability. In most common previous work such as COP and SCOAP , signal correlation between controllability and observability is not well handled. As a result, the estimated values can be quite inaccurate. On the other hand, some ...

The seasonal changes of leaf physiological traits and its relationship with abiotic factors (photosynthetic active radiation-PAR, leaf temperature-Tleaf, air temperature-Tair, Tleaf - Tair- ΔT) were studied on sugar beets grown under the semi-arid conditions of central Greece. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) cv Rizor was established in a Randomised Complete Block design experiment for two years (...
