Integrated storage and pretreatment of wheat straw with different fungi : impact on ethanol production and storage microflora by Anjaly Sukumaran Nair, Harikrishnan

“…In the present investigation wheat strawwas used as a model and was stored in moist conditions with different fungal species (Pichia anomala, Pichia stipitis, and Anthracophyllum discolor) inoculated separately in mini-silos for 1 month at 15°C and 4°C. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation was carried out afterthe storage period and ethanol yields were compared with dry wheat straw as a control.A7.52 % higher ethanol yield (compared to the dry wheat straw) was obtained from wheat straw incubated by P. anomala at 15°C, and 6.87 % higher ethanol yield from P.stipitis inoculated wheat straw incubated at 4°C showed ISP can result in increasing the ethanol yield. …”

Modeling greenhouse gas emissions from rice-based production systems: sensitivity and upscaling by Li, Changsheng, Mosier, Arvin, Wassmann, Reiner, Cai, Zucong, Zheng, Xunhua, Huang, Yao, Tsuruta, Haruo, Boonjawat, Jariya, Lantin, Rhoda

“…With the midseason drainage scenario, the national CH4 flux from rice agriculture reduced to 1.7–7.9 Tg CH4‐C. It implied that the water management change in China reduced CH4 fluxes by 4.2–4.7 Tg CH4‐C per year. …”

Expression profile of transcripts encoding cell wall remodelling proteins in tomato fruit cv. Micro-Tom subjected to 15°C storage by Müller, Gabriela L., Budde, Claudio Olaf, Lauxmann, Martín Alexander, Triassi, Agustina, Andreo, Carlos Santiago, Drincovich, María Fabiana, Lara, María Valeria

“…In this work, Micro-Tom tomatoes stored at 20°C (normal ripening) were compared with those stored at 15°C or 4°C (chilling injury inducer) for 7 days. In contrast to 4°C, storage at 15°C delayed ripening with the benefit of not enhancing oxidative metabolism and of enabling ripening upon being transferred to 20°C. …”
