Nicotiana benthamiana plants were grown five times in different seasons, either in a growth chamber ( GC ) under sole‑source ( solely electric ) lighting or in a temperature‑controlled greenhouse ( GH ) under sunlight until agroinfiltration for gene transfer. The plants were then further grown in a shared growth chamber to allow accumulation of hemagglutinin ( HA ) until harvest. The coefficient of variation of leaf HA content per plant among GH batches was more than twice that among GC batches. The greater variation of leaf HA content per plant in GH was due to the higher coefficient of variation ( CV ) of leaf biomass and the slightly higher CV of leaf HA content per biomass, the former being primarily due to the variation in cumulative photosynthetic photon flux density before gene transfer. There was a significant linear regression between leaf HA content per biomass at harvest and leaf biomass at the timing of gene transfer across growth conditions ( GC or GH ) and seasons. This regression indicates that the variation of leaf biomass or any related variables immediately before gene transfer can account for a significant part of the observed variation of leaf HA accumulation per plant at harvest. Thus, strictly regulated plant growth conditions before gene transfer are crucial to reducing the inter‑batch variation of HA productivity. I conclude that indoor facilities with sole‑source lighting are more appropriate than greenhouses, not only for plant cultivation after gene transfer but also before gene transfer.","PeriodicalId":56074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Meteorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48488385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While a projected rise in air temperature caused by climate change may promote evapotranspiration and incur positive impacts on the use of agricultural machines, intensified rainfall may have negative effects. Here, we provide probabilistic estimates of climate change impacts on meteorological constraints on the field workability of agricultural machines in Hokkaido, Japan. Analyses based on historical meteorological data and machinery operation logs recorded at two agricultural research stations revealed that operations were concentrated on days with a smaller antecedent precipitation index ( API ) . A simple derivative that reflects a maximum API value for conducting a certain field operation, termed threshold API, was proposed to evaluate meteorological constraints on field operations. The threshold API values for operations that were vulnerable to soil conditions ( e.g., sowing and soil preparation ) and/or in fields with poor drainage soil were small; therefore, this threshold should be a reasonable and quantitative measure of the meteorological constraint on field workability. Using 1 km gridded API values under historical and future climates calculated from a large ensemble dataset of daily mean air temperature and precipitation, we separated workable and unworkable days from June to October based on a threshold value of 5 mm and calculated changes in the monthly numbers of total workable days and consecutive unworkable days. While there were slight negative effects in several of the southern and central regions under a 4-K warmer future climate, positive changes prevailed in the total workable days and consecutive unworkable days in the other regions and months. The present results facilitate a probabilistic discussion of changes in agricultural calendars and suggest that climate change may extend the agricultural season in Hokkaido.","PeriodicalId":56074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Meteorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46089068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet the demand, oil palm plantations have expanded in the humid tropics at the expense of tropical forests. Land conversion begins with clear cutting and generates much woody debris, which was stacked in rows. Woody debris decomposes and emits carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) , but the time course of the decomposition is not well understood, especially at the early stage. Thus, we measured carbon ( C ) stock in woody debris in a newly established plantation after clear cutting of a secondary peat swamp forest in Sarawak, Malaysia. A litter bag method was applied to examine the decomposition of woody debris scattered on the ground. Also, we periodically measured apparent cross‑sectional area ( ACSA ) of a stacking row ( about 5 m wide and 90 m long ) assuming that the cross‑sectional form was triangular. The C stock of the stacking row was estimated from ACSA and measured C fractions using a significant sigmoidal relationship. The decomposition rate constants ( k ) for C content were determined to be 0.231 ‑ 0.313 yr ‑1 for ground woody debris and 0.459 yr ‑1 for stacked woody debris. In addition, the total decomposition of the aboveground woody debris proceeded according to another k of 0.440 yr ‑1 during the experimental period of 740 days. The total C stock of aboveground woody debris was 48.4 Mg C ha ‑1 at the beginning of the field experiment, about 16 months after clear cutting. The C stock accounted for 63 % of the C of forest aboveground biomass. Despite the uncertainty in the spatial representativeness, we think that simply measurable ACSA is useful to quantify the C stock of stacked woody debris. The technique could be applicable to large‑area estimation using drone technology.","PeriodicalId":56074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Meteorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47746959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, interannual changes of land surface conditions in the springtime since 2000 were examined in a target source region ( 35 ° N - 50 ° N, 100 ° E - 120 ° E ) . Back trajectory analysis results showed that most dust trajectories of the past 10 years mainly followed three routes passing over this target region. Both the number of Asian dust events observed in Japan and the area with a threshold wind speed U t of <10 m s -1 in the target region significantly decreased after 2000. Further, the area of U t < 10 m s -1 and the number of events were significantly correlated. These results may reflect a decrease in the bare land surface area, which is associated with dust outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":56074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Meteorology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69170620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
