Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Harnessing Natural Diversity and Rational Design for Enhanced Plant Immunity
ABSTRACT Plant pathogens cause crop loss. Genetic resistance, through natural genetic diversity or engineered resistance, can be highly effective in protecting plants from infection. Genetic resistance from wild relatives of crops has been successfully introduced into crops to control pathogen infection.

WHAT SHOULD BE THE MODERN ENGINEERING EDUCATION (THINKING OF GLOBAL FORUM PARTICIPANTS)
The different points of view presented at the World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF 2014) are discussed. The subjects of discussion in this paper are as follows: what should be in our day objectives, content, methods of teaching and learning tools, as ...

Abstract Motivated by an observed asymmetry in boundary layer convergence lines (BLCLs) between the Kubuqi and Ulan Buh desert borders of the Hetao Oasis in northern China, this work aims to document the differences in BLCL frequency and convective initiation and their potential drivers.

Interactive multimedia PBL: design, development and evaluation
Research has suggested that, despite support through policy and resource provision, information and communications technologies (ICTs) have made little impact on the practice of education and that limited teacher preparation for the use of ICTs ...

A Generation Mechanism of Thorpe‐Detected Turbulence: A Case Study Using WRF Model Simulation
Abstract Turbulence in the free atmosphere has been widely estimated using the Thorpe method, which identifies vertical inversions in potential temperature profiles as evidence of overturning. However, the mechanisms driving Thorpe‐detected turbulence remain poorly understood, due largely to limitations in spatial and temporal resolution of ...

Contrasting Effects of Turbulence on Tropical Cyclones During Landfall
Abstract Planetary boundary layer (PBL) turbulence modulates tropical cyclone (TC) intensity through competing mechanisms: (a) frictional dissipation that weakens TCs and (b) frictional convergence that drives stronger low‐level inflow and intensifies TCs.

Role of Unbalanced Jet Streak Circulations in East Asian Dust Storms
Abstract A mesoscale study of three severe dust storms over China and Mongolia was conducted using observational and high‐ resolution numerical model data sets. The analysis of these data indicates many commonalities among the three case studies, (a) precursor wind flow across the mountain creating a strong statically stable layer in the lee of the ...

Abstract This study uses idealized large‐eddy simulations to systematically examine how terrain geometry and environmental instability modulate precipitation produced by a mountain‐crossing mesoscale convective system (MCS). A suite of simulations isolates the effects of base‐state convective available potential energy (CAPE), mountain width, and crest
