Abstract:
The Atlantic-Mediterranean marine transition is a fascinating biogeographic region, but still very poorly studied from the point of view of seaweed phylogeography.Dictyota fasciolaandD. mediterranea(Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) are two currently recognized sister species that share a large part of their distribution along the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, representing a unique study model to understand the diversification processes experienced by macroalgae during and after Messinian at this marine region. In this study, we sampled 102 individuals ofD. fasciolaandD. mediterraneafrom 32 localities along their distribution range and sequenced the mitochondrialcox1 and the chloroplastrbcL-rbcS DNA regions for all the samples. Our data do not support the occurrence of two sister species but a morphologically variable and highly genetic diverse species or a complex of species. Most of the observed genetic diversity corresponds to the Mediterranean populations, whereas the Atlantic ones are much more homogeneous. The early-diverged lineages inferred from both mtDNA and cpDNA phylogenetic reconstructions were constituted by samples from the Mediterranean Sea. Together, these results suggest that the Mediterranean Sea acted as a refugium for theD. fasciola–D. mediterranealineage during the geologic and climatic changes occurred on the region since the Miocene, subsequently dispersing to the Atlantic Ocean.

Abstract:
The present paper will discuss the contemporary geopolitical setting of the Mediterranean region. This paper will examine how different powers, including Europe and Asia, are struggling to influence the Mediterranean strategic space. The paper will also discuss how the region is emerging as an alternative to Russian energy for Europe. Turkey is an important stakeholder and player in the Mediterranean region. Turkey has multiple interests, including cultural, economic, and strategic; therefore, the country is serious about its engagements in the region. The paper also focusses on how Turkey has been managing its interests in the region. The paper is based on descriptive and analytical research methods. The historically Mediterranean region always plays an important role in global geopolitics. The region is important for NATO. In the post-Cold War era, new coalitions were made in the region. Ukraine's war makes the region more important. Turkey is restructuring its strategy in the region

Abstract. Previous work on oxygen and hydrogen isotope data from Eastern Mediterranean water samples has defined a mixing relationship in this region that is different from the world surface ocean. This prompted speculations about the hydrological processes in the Mediterranean region. We present new δ18O and δD data from the Eastern Mediterranean region and the East Greenland Current system, spanning a wide salinity range. These data define δ18O:δD relationships for both regions that are consistent with the world surface ocean δ18O:δD relationship, despite the highly evaporative conditions that prevail in the Mediterranean region. These new geochemical data have suggested that the world surface ocean &amp;delta18O:δD relationship holds throughout almost the entire global salinity range.

Abstract:
La réactivité totale OH est la perte totale du radical hydroxyle (le principal oxydant de l'atmosphère) avec les gaz réactifs dans l'air ambiant. Elle représente la mesure de la quantité totale des réactifs dans un environnement donné.Nous présentons ici un travail expérimental se concentrant sur les améliorations techniques d'une méthode appelée "Comparative Reactivity Method" pour mesurer la réactivité OH su le terrain ainsi que sur des résultats obtenus sur deux sites ciblés dans le bassin méditerranéen.La réactivité OH mesurée était élevée dans les deux sites. Sur le site récepteur en Corse (France) au cours de l'été 2013, nous avons observé que la réactivité OH était en moyenne de 5,5 s-1 (avec un maximum de 17 s-1). Ces mesures ont été comparées avec les observations de composés en phase gazeuse réalisées pendant la campagne. Il a été noté que pendant une période de la campagne, seulement 50% de la réactvité était expliqué par les mesures complémentaires.Lors de mesures dans une forêt de chênes pubescents, émetteurs isoprène, dans le sud de la France, nous avons observé que la réactivité OH maximale était très élevée (69 s-1), en accord avec la réactivité calculée à partir des mesures des gaz réactifs.Ce travail de thèse met en évidence que: (i) le bassin méditerranéen est un fort émetteur de gaz réactifs, (ii) la réactivité mesurée dans ces deux sites de la Méditerranée a été fortement impactée par les émissions biogéniques, (iii) il reste encore beaucoup de composés inconnus associés aux émissions biogéniques primaires et secondaires. A l'avenir, plusieurs approches pourraient etre utilisées pour identifier ces composés inconnus: en couplant la mesure de la réactivité OH avec des mesures de plantes dans des enceintes fermées (composés primaires), études en chambre de vieillissement (composés primaires et secondaires), ainsi que des approches de modélisation
The total OH reactivity is the total loss rate of the hydroxyl radical with the reactive gases in ambient air. It represents the measure of the total loading of reactants in a given environment.Here we present an experimental work focusing on the technical improvements of the Comparative Reactivity Method to measure the OH reactivity on the field and field measurements of OH reactivity at two targeted sites in the Mediterranean basin.The measured OH reactivity was high at both sites. At a receptor site in Corsica (France) during summer 2013, we observed that the OH reactivity was maximum 17 s-1, on average 5.5 s-1 and during one week only 50% was explained by the complementary measurements in the gas phase.At a forest of downy oak trees, high isoprene emitters, in the south of France, we observed that the OH reactivity was maximum 69 s-1, in agreement with the reactivity calculated from the measurements of reactive gases only during daytime.This thesis work highlights that: (i) the Mediterranean basin is a strong emitter of reactive gases, (ii) the reactivity measured in these two sites in the Mediterranean was strongly impacted by the biogenic emissions, (iii) there are still many unknowns associated to measures of biogenic volatiles primary emitted and secondary produced. Such unknowns might be reduced in the future by coupling the measurement of the OH reactivity with plants enclosures and chambers studies as well as modelling approaches

Abstract:
Lo studio intende guardare al Mediterraneo come regione geografica analizzando le sue peculiarità nel’ambito della sicurezza. Viene tracciato un profilo dei principali approcci e dei settori degli studi sulla sicurezza per poi soffermarsi sulle attuali minacce alla sicurezza nel mondo globalizzato, in particolar modo il terrorismo. Si considera la regione Mediterranea e i problemi affrontati dai Paesi del Sud Mediterraneo, quali: conflitti regionali ed interni, mancanza di democrazia e di rispetto dei diritti umani, crescita demografica e migrazioni, scarsità di risorse e competizione, proliferazione di WMD, crescita di radicalismo islamico e terrorismo. Queste minacce coinvolgono da vicino i Paesi del Sud europeo e per estensione tutta l’Unione Europea. Data la sua vicinanza, gli interessi e il ruolo che ricopre, l’UE si è impegnata nella costruzione di un dialogo tra Europa e Mediterraneo. Si ricostruiscono dunque fasi, risultati, fallimenti e possibili evoluzioni di questo progetto.

Abstract:
La tesis pretende analizar aspectos relacionados con la integración de los países mediterráneos en el contexto económico internacional, aspectos que resultan de especial interés para esta región puesto que son claves para su desarrollo económico, su estudio es particularmente relevante para evaluar las políticas llevadas a cabo, así como para rediseñar aquellas que no están siendo todo lo efectivas que se preveía. En un primer lugar se analizan el impacto que han tenido los acuerdos de libre comercio celebrados por diez países del Norte de África y Oriente Próximo sobre su comercio exterior, con el objetivo de comparar los efectos de una mayor integración Sur-Sur con una vinculación más estrecha con los mercados del Norte. Se diferencia entre productos industriales y agrícolas, ya que permite llevar a cabo un estudio más profundo y especifico del contenido de dichos acuerdos. Los resultados muestran que la integración entre países árabes está generando ya resultados positivos, en particular el acuerdo GAFTA está intensificando el intercambio bilateral entre los países miembros. Esta apuesta hacia una mayor integración árabe representa una nueva oportunidad para muchos países y puede servir de puente para promover el dialogo y establecer nuevas oportunidades en la región. Sin embargo, los acuerdos Norte-Sur celebrados no han ayudado a incrementar en la medida esperada las exportaciones entre ambas regiones. En el caso del acuerdo de libre comercio con la Unión Europea, los resultados muestran que se han obtenido mejoras en las exportaciones de la UE hacia la región MENA, pero no en sentido inverso, en línea con lo que obtienen estudios anteriores. Lo novedoso de nuestros resultados aparece con el acuerdo firmado entre Estados Unidos y Jordania y entre Estados Unidos y Marruecos, dicho acuerdo muestra un efecto positivo para las exportaciones de ambos países incluidos para el caso de los productos agrícolas. Así pues, de los resultados empíricos obtenidos se extrae que los países de la cuenca sur del Mediterráneo deberían considerar una estrategia de negociación en la liberalización de su comercio que concentre la misma en aquellos productos donde su competitividad es mayor. Ello requerirá un mayor equilibrio en la articulación de dichos acuerdos, en los que la producción agrícola e industrial configure un patrón sectorial de exportaciones acordes con su estructura productiva. Del mismo parece razonable apostar por una mayor integración intra-árabe, a pesar de las dificultades evidentes que esto conlleva, especialmente en un contexto político y social tan turbulento como el actual. Otro aspecto analizado es el papel que tiene el comercio internacional en la competitividad de las empresas. Tal y como se ha desarrollado en el segundo capítulo, entender las estrategias de internacionalización de las empresas es de particular relevancia, en especial si se quiere diseñar políticas efectivas que sirvan de apoyo a las industrias nacionales. En el estudio llevado a cabo se ha analizado la relación existente entre las actividades de importación y exportación de las empresas manufactureras egipcias. Los resultados muestran que las empresas cuando exportan o importan mejoran su competitividad y alcanzan un mayor tamaño en comparación con las empresas que únicamente operan en el mercado nacional. Se observa igualmente un alto grado de histéresis, donde el posicionamiento previo en los mercados internacionales explica una buena parte de la actividad internacional actual, en este sentido si la empresa tiene experiencia exportadora en los años anteriores, esto afectará de forma positiva a que la consolide en la actualidad y lo mismo ocurre para el caso importador. Con los datos y análisis realizado en este segundo capítulo no podemos establecer un nexo de causalidad entre ambas actividades dejando esto para futuras líneas de investigación, aun así se constata que los costes hundidos para las importaciones son mayores que los que se deben hacer frente para la exportación. A pesar de que este resultado parece poco intuitivo ante la lógica del comercio internacional donde la actividad de exportación aparece como algo más costoso para las empresas que la importación, para el caso concreto de Egipto parece tomar sentido desde un punto de vista donde las exportaciones de las empresas del país se han liberalizado completamente desde la entrada en vigor de los acuerdos de libre comercio mientras que la liberalización de las importaciones se ha producido de forma progresiva. Un análisis más exhaustivo resulta necesario para llegar a resultados más concluyentes, aun así parece tener solidez la argumentación de que las empresas que se incorporan en el comercio internacional aprovechan dicha apertura y las relaciones comerciales que esto conlleva para desarrollar operaciones en ambos sentidos. Después de analizar en los capítulos anteriores aspectos relacionados con el comercio internacional, consideramos necesario abordar cómo el entorno político-institucional está influyendo sobre el comportamiento de las empresas en la región. En el tercer y último capítulo se analizan los obstáculos a los que las empresas egipcias han tenido que hacer frente en los años anteriores a la revolución. De los resultados obtenidos se constata que el acceso y coste a la financiación, los altos impuestos, el precio de la tierra, la situación de inestabilidad política o suministros básicos como el agua o la luz son los principales obstáculos para llevar a cabo la actividad empresarial en Egipto, especialmente en el caso de las empresas más pequeñas y que no cuentan con capital extranjero. En términos de política económica las conclusiones parecen evidentes, se hace indispensable una estrategia de mejora en las infraestructuras básicas como el agua o la electricidad y de la modernización del sistema fiscal, así como del sistema financiero, con los efectos positivos que esto supondrá en términos de financiación empresarial donde los resultados a medio y largo plazo serán un incremento de la competitividad empresarial que favorecerá el crecimiento económico y la generación de empleo. En definitiva los estudios llevados a cabo y que configuran el núcleo de esta tesis doctoral pretenden analizar y evaluar la integración de los países del Norte de África y Oriente Próximo en el contexto económico internacional y examinar aspectos clave para la mejora de la competitividad de las empresas de la región, concretamente centrando los dos últimos capítulos en Egipto, debido al interés que despierta el país por la situación política actual.

Aronne, G. "Reproductive biology of shrubs of the Mediterranean region." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 1994. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.592080.

Full text
Abstract:
Reproductive biology of Mediterranean shrubs was studied in the macchia vegetation on the costal region north of the bay of Naples, Southern Italy. An overall view of the reproductive characteristics of 27 shrub species present in the area showed the presence of two main groups of species, anemophilous and entomophilous. Amongst the entomophilous species are two diverging trends, towards either a group of dioecious, small-flowered, fleshy-fruited, few-to-one seeded species or to an hermaphrodite, large-flowered, dry-fruited, many seeded group. Each group of species exhibits a combination of characteristics which taken together may be viewed as adaptation to the water and nutrient limited Mediterranean shrubland ecosystem. Subsequently, a more detailed study of the reproductive cycles of a number of species of each trend has been carried out during the period 1990-1993, with both field and laboratory observations and experiments. Rhamnus alaternus L. is a dioecious species with both wind and insect pollination, and female plants showing a clear alternate-bearing phenology and summer fruiting period. The drupe has three stones and the endocarps, when air-dried, split open explosively to reveal the seed which bears an elaiosome. Ans have been shown to collect the diaspore, eat the elaiosome and discard the undamaged seed. Osyris alba L. is a dioecious, hemiparasitic shrub pollinated by small flies which are attracted to the male flowers because they provide nectar and pollen as reward and to the female flowers by mimicry of the attractive features of the males but without any reward. Field observations on Phillyrea latifolia L. showed that this species exhibit androdioecy. Male plants allocate all their reproductive resources to the male function while hermaphrodite plants share resources to both male and female functions.

Abstract:
The evolution of the Western Mediterranean takes place between the converging African and Eurasian plates, therefore the motion between them cannot be determined directly. The motion between them is the finite difference between the independent seafloor spreading systems in the Central and North Atlantic Oceans. Primary magnetic anomaly data from the North and Central Atlantic was reexamined. All Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic anomalies (Anomaly 34 - Anomaly 2) were remapped. Fracture zones were remapped using bathymetic maps, topographic profiles from ship tracks, SEASAT altimetry (geoid deflection) data, and SEASAT derived gravity images. Fracture zones were used as the primary control for the determination of rotation parameters. Finite difference solutions were computed between matched anomalies using the newly determined rotation parameters for each ocean with parameters of Pindell et al. (1988) used for Early Cretaceous and Jurassic spreading in the Central Atlantic. The product was a kinematic model describing the motion of Africa with respect to Europe from 175 Ma to the present. The motion of Africa was seen to be much smoother and not marked by the sharp, unusual direction changes that characterized previous work. On a gross scale the motion could be divided into phases that correlated with major geological events, but on a smaller scale it was clear that relative motion between Africa and Eurasia did little more than set very broad boundary conditions within which a variety of geological events occurred. Africa's motion is divisible into several distince phases. From the Jurassic start of seafloor spreading until the Late Cretaceous Quiet Zone (KQZ) the motion between the plates was sinistral strike-slip. During the KQZ, but prior to Anomaly 34 (84 Ma, Campanian) Africa's motion changed to northeasterly directed compression. Shortly after Anomaly 30 (68 Ma), close to the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, until after Anomaly 24 (55 Ma, mid-Eocene) there was a period of little relative motion between the two plates. After Anomaly 24 strong relative motion recommenced between Africa and Eurasia. Africa continued on a trajectory between N and NNE until the Middle Miocene (Anomalies 5A - 5D) when motion became directed to the NW. Within the relative motion framework a model for the geological evolution of the Western Mediterranean Sea is evolved. Although the Western Mediterranean is a Neogene phenomena the history of the region prior to this time is also examined, albeit in less detail. Among the major problems for which solutions are suggested is the convergence direction of Iberia with respect to Europe and the reason extension initiated in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Abstract:
The article considers the progress and strengthening of British military and political cooperation in a priority region of the British international policy, namely, in the Mediterranean. The success of the active international policy manifested itself in a considerable growth of British influence in the Mediterranean lost after World War II which has not been fully restored till today. The present British government with Boris Johnson at the head, accentuating the global part of Britain, is trying to change the situation into its favour. In the latter context, a complete understanding of present moment’s peculiarities depends on the scientific interest posed by the historical aspect of the British presence in the Mediterranean and the degree of its influence on the present-day policy of Britain in the region.

Full text
Abstract:
The second Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) regional expert workshop was held in hybrid mode (in person and online) in Thessaloniki, Greece from 8–12 May, 2023. The goal was to identify and delineate three-dimensional and discrete portions of habitat that are critical to the survival of sharks, rays, and chimaeras (hereafter ‘sharks’), and that have the potential to be managed for conservation. The region covered included the Mediterranean and Black Seas. This scientific collaboration amongst regional and global experts resulted in the identification of 65 Important Shark and Ray Areas, 6 candidate ISRAs, and 20 Areas of Interest. Identified ISRAs range in size from small underwater areas of 0.09 km2 at depths of 1,100–1,150 m (Palmahim Brine Pools ISRA in Israel) to large areas of 219,913 km2 (Strait of Sicily and Tunisian Plateau ISRA which is transboundary in nature encompassing waters of Italy, Libya, Malta, and Tunisia) from surface waters to a depth of 2,000 m. This compendium provides an overview of all areas delineated.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mexican fruit fly (Anastrepha ludens) is a major pest of mango and citrus, causing significant damage through larval tunneling and fruit rotting. Native to Central America, it has also been found in the southern USA and poses a potential threat to the Mediterranean region. Classical biological control efforts began in the 1950s with the introduction of various parasitoids, though only Diachasmimorpha longicaudata and Aceratoneuromyia indica established successfully. Diachasmimorpha longicaudata remains the most effective, achieving up to 33% parasitism in augmentative releases. Other promising natural enemies include Doryctobracon crawfordi and Coptera haywardii, both native to the Neotropics. Numerous other parasitoids and predators, such as ants and spiders, contribute to A. ludens control, but their specific impacts and potential for biological control programs require further study.

Abstract:
Description: Shipping is responsible for a range of different pressures affecting air quality, climate, and the marine environment. Most social and economic analyses of shipping have focused on air pollution assessment and how shipping may impact climate change and human health. This risks that policies may be biased towards air pollution and climate change, whilst impacts on the marine environment are not as well known. One example is the sulfur regulation introduced in January 2020, which requires shipowners to use a compliant fuel with a sulfur content of 0.5% (0.1% in SECA regions) or use alternative compliance options (Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems, EGCS) that are effective in reducing sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions to the atmosphere. The EGCS cleaning process results in large volumes of discharged water that includes a wide range of contaminants. Although regulations target SOx removal, other pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals and combustion particles are removed from the exhaust to the wash water and subsequently discharged to the marine environment. Based on dilution series of the Whole Effluent Testing (WET), the impact of the EGCS effluent on marine invertebrate species and on phytoplankton was found to vary between taxonomic groups, and between different stages of the invertebrate life cycle. Invertebrates were more affected than phytoplankton, and the most sensitive endpoint detected in the present project was the fertilisation of sea urchin eggs, which were negatively affected at a sample dilution of 1 : 1,000,000. Dilutions of 1: 100,000 were harmful to early development of several of the tested species, including mussels, polychaetes, and crustaceans. The observed effects at these low concentrations of EGCS effluent were reduced egg production, and deformations and abnormal development of the larvae of the species. The ecotoxicological data produced in the EMERGE project were used to derive Predicted No Effect Concentration values. Corresponding modelling studies revealed that the EGCS effluent can be considered as a single entity for 2-10 days from the time of discharge, depending on the environmental conditions like sea currents, winds, and temperature. Area 10-30 km outside the shipping lanes will be prone to contaminant concentrations corresponding to 1 : 1,000,000 dilution which was deemed harmful for most sensitive endpoints of WET experiments. Studies for the Saronikos Gulf (Aegean Sea) revealed that the EGCS effluent dilution rate exceeded the 1 : 1,000,000 ratio 70% of the time at a distance of about 10 km from the port. This was also observed for 15% of the time within a band of 10 km wide along the shipping lane extending 500 km away from the port of Piraeus. When mortality of adult specimens of one of the species (copepod Acartia tonsa) was used as an endpoint it was found to be 3-4 orders of magnitude less sensitive to EGCS effluent than early life stage endpoints like fertilisation of eggs and larval development. Mortality of Acartia tonsa is commonly used in standard protocols for ecotoxicological studies, but our data hence shows that it seriously underestimates the ecologically relevant toxicity of the effluent. The same is true for two other commonly used and recommended endpoints, phytoplankton growth and inhibition of bioluminescence in marine bacteria. Significant toxic effects were reached only after addition of 20-40% effluent. A marine environmental risk assessment was performed for the Öresund region for baseline year 2018, where Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PECs) of open loop effluent discharge water were compared to the PNEC value. The results showed modelled concentrations of open loop effluent in large areas to be two to three orders of magnitude higher than the derived PNEC value, yielding a Risk Characterisation Ratio of 500-5000, which indicates significant environmental risk. Further, it should be noted that between 2018-2022 the number of EGCS vessels more than quadrupled in the area from 178 to 781. In this work, the EGCS discharges of the fleet in the Baltic Sea, North Sea, the English Channel, and the Mediterranean Sea area were studied in detail. The assessments of impacts described in this document were performed using a baseline year 2018 and future scenarios. These were made for the year 2050, based on different projections of transport volumes, also considering the fuel efficiency requirements and ship size developments. From the eight scenarios developed, two extremes were chosen for impact studies which illustrate the differences between a very high EGCS usage and a future without the need for EGCS while still compliant to IMO initial GHG strategy. The scenario without EGCS leads to 50% reduction of GHG emissions using low sulfur fuels, LNG, and methanol. For the high EGCS adoption scenario in 2050, about a third of the fleet sailing the studied sea areas would use EGCS and effluent discharge volumes would be increased tenfold for the Baltic Sea and hundredfold for the Mediterranean Sea when compared to 2018 baseline discharges. Some of the tested species, mainly the copepods, have a central position in pelagic food webs as they feed on phytoplankton and are themselves the main staple food for most fish larvae and for some species of adult fish, e.g., herring. The direct effect of the EGSE on invertebrates will therefore have an important indirect effect on the fish feeding on them. Effects are greatest in and near shipping lanes. Many important shipping lanes run close to shore and archipelago areas, and this also puts the sensitive shallow water coastal ecosystems at risk. It should be noted that no studies on sub-lethal effects of early 19 life stages in fish were included in the EMERGE project, nor are there any available data on this in the scientific literature. The direct toxic effects on fish at the expected concentrations of EGCS effluent are therefore largely unknown. According to the regional modelling studies, some of the contaminants will end up in sediments along the coastlines and archipelagos. The documentation of the complex chemical composition of EGCS effluent is in sharp contrast to the present legislation on threshold levels for content in EGCS effluent discharged from ships, which includes but a few PAHs, pH, and turbidity. Traditional assessments of PAHs in environmental and marine samples focus only on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) list of 16 priority PAHs, which includes only parent PAHs. Considering the complex PAHs assemblages and the importance of other related compounds, it is important to extend the EPA list to include alkyl-PAHs to obtain a representative monitoring of EGCS effluent and to assess the impact of its discharges into the marine environment. An economic evaluation of the installation and operational costs of EGCS was conducted noting the historical fuel price differences of high and low sulfur fuels. Equipment types, installation dates and annual fuel consumption from global simulations indicated that 51% of the global EGCS fleet had already reached break-even by the end of 2022, resulting in a summarised profit of 4.7 billion €2019. Within five years after the initial installation, more than 95% of the ships with open loop EGCS reach break-even. The pollutant loads from shipping come both through atmospheric deposition and direct discharges. This underlines the need of minimising the release of contaminants by using fuels which reduce the air emissions of harmful components without creating new pollution loads through discharges. Continued use of EGCS and high sulfur fossil fuels will delay the transition to more sustainable options. The investments made on EGCS enable ships to continue using fossil fuels instead of transitioning away from them as soon as possible as agreed in the 2023 Dubai Climate Change conference. Continued carriage of residual fuels also increases the risk of dire environmental consequences whenever accidental releases of oil to the sea occur.

Abstract:
Original objectives: [a] Screen an array of chickpea and wild annual Cicer germplasm for winter survival. [b] Genetic analysis of winter hardiness in domesticated x wild chickpea crosses. [c] Genetic analysis of vernalization response in domesticated x wild chickpea crosses. [d] Digital expression analysis of a core selection of breeding and germplasm lines of chickpea that differ in winter hardiness and vernalization. [e] Identification of the genes involved in the chickpea winter hardiness and vernalization and construction of gene network controlling these traits. [f] Assessing the phenotypic and genetic correlations between winter hardiness, vernalization response and Ascochyta blight response in chickpea. The complexity of the vernalization response and the inefficiency of our selection experiments (below) required quitting the work on ascochyta response in the framework of this project. Background to the subject: Since its introduction to the Palouse region of WA and Idaho, and the northern Great Plains, chickpea has been a spring rotation legume due to lack of winter hardiness. The short growing season of spring chickpea limits its grain yield and leaves relatively little stubble residue for combating soil erosion. In Israel, chilling temperatures limit pod setting in early springs and narrow the effective reproductive time window of the crop. Winter hardiness and vernalization response of chickpea alleles were lost due to a series of evolutionary bottlenecks; however, such alleles are prevalent in its wild progenitor’s genepool. Major conclusions, solutions, achievements: It appears that both vernalization response and winter hardiness are polygenic traits in the wild-domesticated chickpea genepool. The main conclusion from the fieldwork in Israel is that selection of domesticated winter hardy and vernalization responsive types should be conducted in late flowering and late maturity backgrounds to minimize interference by daylength and temperature response alleles (see our Plant Breeding paper on the subject). The main conclusion from the US winter-hardiness studies is that excellent lines have been identified for germplasm release and continued genetic study. Several of the lines have good seed size and growth habit that will be useful for introgressing winter-hardiness into current chickpea cultivars to develop releases for autumn sowing. We sequenced the transcriptomes and profiled the expression of genes in 87 samples. Differential expression analysis identified a total of 2,452 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between vernalized plants and control plants, of which 287 were shared between two or more Cicer species studied. We cloned 498 genes controlling vernalization, named CVRN genes. Each of the CVRN genes contributes to flowering date advance (FDA) by 3.85% - 10.71%, but 413 (83%) other genes had negative effects on FDA, while only 83 (17%) had positive effects on FDA, when the plant is exposed to cold temperature. The cloned CVRN genes provide new toolkits and knowledge to develop chickpea cultivars that are suitable for autumn-sowing. Scientific & agricultural implications: Unlike the winter cereals (barley, wheat) or pea, in which a single allelic change may induce a switch from winter to spring habit, we were unable to find any evidence for such major gene action in chickpea. In agricultural terms this means that an alternative strategy must be employed in order to isolate late flowering – ascochyta resistant (winter types) domesticated forms to enable autumn sowing of chickpea in the US Great Plains. An environment was identified in U.S. (eastern Washington) where autumn-sown chickpea production is possible using the levels of winter-hardiness discovered once backcrossed into advanced cultivated material with acceptable agronomic traits. The cloned CVRN genes and identified gene networks significantly advance our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying plant vernalization in general, and chickpea in particular, and provide a new toolkit for switching chickpea from a spring-sowing to autumn-sowing crop.

Abstract:
High reflectance materials constitute an attractive idea to reduce cooling loads, which is crucial for attaining the Nearly Zero Energy Buildings goal, also presenting the benefit of broadening the range of colours applicable in building facades. The EnReflect project intended to re-design envelope systems by increasing their solar reflectance through nanotechnology. The main idea was to produce novel nanomaterial-based coatings with high near-infrared (NIR) reflectance by tuning their optical properties and testing their compatibility with typical insulation technologies such as ETICS. As such, this project focused on the synthesis of nanoparticles with improved NIR reflectance, the evaluation of the hygrothermal-mechanical behaviour of thermal insulation systems with the application of the improved coating solutions, the characterization of the more relevant material properties and the durability assessment. One of the main achievements was the development of a facile synthesis of a nanocomposite with improved performance in the NIR region that allowed the reflectance improvement of a dark-finishing coating. Also, the incorporation of such nanoparticles had a positive effect on keeping their optical properties after accelerated ageing cycles. The development of numerical simulations allowed the estimation of the maximum surface temperature in Mediterranean climates under different optical parameters. The study of the hygrothermal behaviour of thermal enhanced façades led to the development of a new durability assessment methodology which contributed to closing a standardization gap.
