Abstract:

In the continental United States, mean surface air temperature is expected to increase by up to 5°C within 100 years. With hotter temperatures, leaf budbreak is expected to occur earlier in forests, and leaf area is expected to increase in locations where temperature is limiting. The response of plant photosynthesis to hotter temperatures is less certain; plant productivity could increase or decrease. Past studies have found intraspecific variation in the responses of forest tree productivity, phenology, canopy leaf area, and leaf isoprene emission to warming, which all influence carbon uptake

For the purpose of sulphide removal in aquaculture ponds, three strains (name: TH21, QN71, QN51) were isolated and selected with the highest sulphide removal activity from Thanh Hoa and Quang Ninh coastal zones. These strains have identified and tested in a number of aquaculture ponds in different areas with good water quality results. With the objective of purple non sulfur bacteria biomass production containing 3 selected strains for wide application and suitable price for farmers, in this study, we study on optimum conditions of mixed purple non sulfur bacteria biomass production at pilot s

Abstract:

Global climate change is predicted to alter the weather patterns around the world, as climatic zones shift, forest carbon sequestration projects (e.g. the UK woodland carbon code) need to take into account the specific requirements of planted species. In the UK, oaks are an important charismatic group of trees favoured in recent planting programmes. The English oak (Quercus robur L.), has poor water conservation, but is a major component of natural forests in lowland UK. On the other hand, Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is a Mediterranean oak that has high water conservation and can also tolerate

Abstract:

CO2 storage in the oceans is strongly affected by biological processes. Production of organic matter through phytoplankton photosynthesis drives CO2 sequestration, which feeds back to atmospheric CO2 and global climate. The ongoing increase in atmospheric CO2 and temperature is strongly associated with changes in ocean chemistry and increasing seawater temperatures. To investigate these impacts on coastal phytoplankton under conditions predicted for the year 2100 (pCO2 elevated to 800 μatm and +4 °C temperature), three factorial experiments were conducted with natural communities sampled from

Impacts of the indiscriminate extraction of seeds and vegetative parts of native species have increased in recent years, being the cultivation of plants on a large scale in a sustainable manner one of the challenges for production - without compromising natural resources.

Many coastal plant species thrive across a range of environmental conditions, often displaying dramatic phenotypic variation in response to environmental variation. We characterized the response of the critical foundation species Rhizophora mangle L. to full factorial combinations of salt and nitrogen (N).

The response to increasing salt included significant plasticity in succulence, leaf mass area (LMA), and root to shoot ratio (R:S). Seedlings also showed overa

The energy of the sun is collected by the autotrophs (mostly plants) through photosynthesis and stored in the chemical bonds of carbohydrates and lipids through carboxylic acid intermediates; animals use these compounds to obtain the energy for their cells.

Abstract:

Interest in photosynthesis continues to increase with a global focus on developing alternative fuel sources such as biofuels. It is the various forms of biomass that provide the raw materials for the production of biofuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel. The vast majority of these materials are grown by the photosynthesis process. Developing a mathematical model of the process allows for a clearer understanding of what limits and propels the process, and what this reaction might be capable of in terms of biomass growth on an industrial scale. The primary driving force of photosynthesi

Abstract:

La fotosintesi è il principale sistema di conversione dell’energia luminosa sul nostro pianeta. In tutti gli organismi fotosintetici come piante, alghe e cianobatteri, la fotosintesi si svolge nelle membrane tilacoidi dei cloroplasti, e permette di convertire l'energia solare in energia chimica, utilizzata per trasformare l'anidride carbonica in biomassa, producendo ossigeno come sottoprodotto. L'energia luminosa può essere anche dannosa, se in eccesso può determinare le sovraeccitazione dei fotosistemi, e la conseguente produzione di specie reattive dell'ossigeno (ROS), molecole tossiche che

Abstract:

Many ecological systems follow a seasonal cycle affecting primary production, carbon flux, and vegetative gas emissions. The seasonal variation of ecological systems are both affected by and have effects upon climatic factors. A quantitative estimate of the seasonal variation of vegetation is required to characterize ecological systems and their interaction with climate. Monitoring the spaliotemporal variation of foliar biomass density (FBD) over one year will provide a quantitative estimate of the annual cycle and regional variation of photosynthetic activity. FBD is a quantitative measure of

Abstract:

Biofuel production from microalgal biomass offers a clean and sustainable liquid fuel alternative to fossil fuels. In addition, algae cultivation is advantageous over traditional biofuel feedstocks as (i) it does not compete with food production, (ii) it potentially has a much greater areal productivity, (iii) it does not require arable land, and (iv) it can use marginal sources of water not suitable for irrigation or drinking. However, current algae cultivation technologies suffer from (i) low solar energy conversion effiencies, (ii) large thermal fluctuations which negatively affect the prod

Abstract:

MSCAGR (Plant Production)<br>Department of Plant Production<br>Agricultural production under rain-fed conditions is largely dependent on the availability of water stored in the soil during rainfall events. The production of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) under rain-fed conditions in the north-eastern part of South Africa is constrained by low and erratic rainfall events. Improving cassava production in the area requires the use of cassava varieties which are efficient in the use of limited soil moisture. The current climate change and increasing population growth on the planet will place m

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Carbon dioxide (CO2) level in the atmosphere has increased steadily since Pre-Industrial times. The need for a better understanding of the effects of elevated CO2 on plant physiology and growth is clear. Previous studies have focused on how plants are affected by either elevated CO2 or salinity, one of many environmental stresses for plants. However, little research has been focused on the interaction of these two factors. In my project, three common grass species were exposed to both elevated CO2 and salinity, so that the effects of

The goal of this Master thesis was development of teaching materials that are focusing on mastering the fundamentals of mathematical modelling on the examples of photosynthetic processes and influence of selected environmental factors on these processes. Developed models of photosynthetic response to select environmental factors, worksheets, methodical manuals and other supporting materials belong to the teaching materials for secondary schools and serve as a basis of work with models. This teaching materials are aimed to introduce modelling and its significance not only in science but also in

Abstract:

This diploma thesis is focused on the creation of model tasks (by means of an experiment) for the study of biology at secondary schools and concerns the effects of temperature on plant growth. The selected tasks utilize the new didactic approach by means of the so called inquiry based education. This method of teaching contributes to the development of individual deduction reasoning and encourages the students to actively think about the subject matter. The thesis provides the necessary theoretical background for the topic together with the description of methods and material needed for the co

Le alghe sono definite organismi fotosintetici ossigenici, procarioti o eucarioti, con un’organizzazione da unicellulare a pluricellulare, che non sviluppano foglie o radici giustificando la classificazione di ‘piante inferiori’. Le alghe presentano diverse potenziali applicazioni commerciali, come la produzione di biomassa per l’alimentazione umana/animale o per essere usata come fertilizzante, l’estrazione di molecole ad elevato valore aggiunto con un mercato nell’industria chimica o farmaceutica, infine, anche se ancora lontano dalla commercializzazione, la produzione di bio-combustibili.
