Carbon dioxide uptake in a eutrophic stratified reservoir: Freshwater carbon sequestration potential

Carbon capture and storage due to photosynthesis activities has been proposed as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change. To enhance such mitigation, previous studies have shown that freshwater lakes should be included in the carbon sink, since they may capture as much carbon as coastal areas. In eutrophic freshwater lakes, there is uncertainty about whether the equilibrium equation can estimate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), owing to the presence of photosynthesis due to phytoplankton, and pH measurement error in freshwater fluid. Thus, this study investigated the applicability of the equilibrium equation and revealed the need to modify it. The modified equilibrium equation was successfully applied to reproduce pCO2 based on total alkalinity and pH through field observations. In addition, pCO2 at the water surface was lower than the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to photosynthesis by phytoplankton during strong stratification. The stratification effect on low pCO2 was verified by using the Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) model, and a submerged freshwater plants such as Potamogeton malaianus were found to have high potential for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) sequestration in a freshwater lake. These results should provide a starting point toward more sophisticated methods to investigate the effect of freshwater carbon on DIC uptake in freshwater stratified eutrophic lakes

Improved tolerance to boron deficiency by enhanced expression of the boron transporter BOR2

<div><p></p><p>Boron (B) cross-links the pectin polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) and thus is important for cell wall structure in plants. B deficiency is an agricultural problem that causes significant losses of crop productivity worldwide. To address this, B deficiency-tolerant plants have been generated using B transporters. With the goal of further improving plant tolerance to low-B conditions, we generated transgenic <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (L.) Heynh. with enhanced expression of BOR2, a B transporter that promotes cross-linking of RG-II and root elongation under low B supply. We generated a DNA construct containing the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter, a native promoter of <i>BOR2</i>, a <i>BOR2</i> gene and green fluorescent protein (GFP) (<i>Pro35S-BOR2:BOR2-GFP</i>), and obtained three independent transgenic lines with relatively high levels of BOR2-GFP expression. In the transgenic lines, BOR2-GFP was expressed mainly in the lateral root caps in the meristem zone and in the epidermal cells in the elongation zone, similar to its expression when driven only by its native promoter. In the <i>Pro35S-BOR2:BOR2-GFP</i> lines, BOR2-GFP was also expressed in various cells in the maturation zone of roots and epidermal cells of shoots, where the expression was hardly detectable in <i>ProBOR2:BOR2-GFP</i> lines. The transgenic lines were cultured under various B concentrations on solid media and it was found that root growth of three lines and shoot growth of two lines were enhanced compared to wild-type plants under low-B conditions. This finding established that enhanced expression of BOR2 leads to improved root growth under low-B conditions. We also examined growth of the transgenic lines under hydroponic conditions. One of the three lines showed better growth and fertility under a low-B condition, while the wild type did not set seeds under the same condition, suggesting the potential utility of BOR2 expression in agricultural applications.</p></div

The International Linear Collider: Report to Snowmass 2021

The International Linear Collider (ILC) is on the table now as a new global energy-frontier accelerator laboratory taking data in the 2030s. The ILC addresses key questions for our current understanding of particle physics. It is based on a proven accelerator technology. Its experiments will challenge the Standard Model of particle physics and will provide a new window to look beyond it. This document brings the story of the ILC up to date, emphasizing its strong physics motivation, its readiness for construction, and the opportunity it presents to the US and the global particle physics community
