Field-Based Estimates of Global Warming Potential in Bioenergy Systems of Hawaii: Crop Choice and Deficit Irrigation.

Replacing fossil fuel with biofuel is environmentally viable from a climate change perspective only if the net greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of the system is reduced.The effects of replacing annual arable crops with perennial bioenergy feedstocks on net GHG production and soil carbon (C) stock are critical to the system-level balance.Here, we comp

Isolation and expression of a cold-responsive gene PtCBF in Poncirus trifoliata and isolation of citrus CBF promoters

C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element binding factor (CBF) plays important roles in cold response network in plants.Here, one member of CBF coding gene family in trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata), designated as PtCBF, was isolated.Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions showed up-regulation of PtCBF not only under
