Physiological and image-based phenotyping assessment of waterlogging responses of three kiwifruit rootstocks and grafting combinations by Maria Calabritto, Alba N. Mininni, Roberto Di Biase, Angelo Petrozza, Stephan Summerer, Francesco Cellini, Bartolomeo Dichio

“…Three pot-grown kiwifruit rootstocks (‘Bounty 71,’ Actinidia macrosperma—B; ‘D1,’ Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa—D; and ‘Hayward,’ A. chinensis var. deliciosa—H) and grafting combinations, with a yellow-fleshed kiwifruit cultivar (‘Zesy 002,’ A. chinensis var. chinensis) grafted on each rootstock (Z/B, Z/D, Z/H), were subjected to a control irrigation treatment (WW), restoring their daily water consumption, and to a 9-day waterlogging stress (WL), based on substrate saturation. Leaf gas exchange, photosynthetic activity, leaf temperature, RGB, and NIR data were collected during waterlogging stress.ResultsStomatal conductance and transpiration reached very low values (less than 0.05 mol m−2 s−1 and 1 mmol m−2 s−1, respectively) in both waterlogged D and H rootstocks and their grafting combinations. …”

Recent Developments in the Physical Adsorption of Toxic Organic Vapours by Activated Carbons by Robert H. Bradley

“…Typical examples occur in separations associated with toxic organic compounds, for example in industrial and military respiratory protection or effluent clean-up, where the removal of highly toxic or noxious vapour species, sometimes present at very low concentrations, is required from atmospheric air streams which contain near-saturation pressures of water vapour. In this instance, a hydrophobic carbon with a pore structure which is optimized to the target species is required to solve this problem, but other applications, for example to control other emissions to the environment (SO x /NO x /Hg) or in energy storage (H 2 /CH 4 ) and electrochemical double-layer capacitance (EDLC) usage, may require quite different properties. …”
