The inheritance of ozone (O(3)) insensitivity in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was evaluated using F(2) and F(3) populations under ambient conditions. This study was conducted over two growing seasons (1987, 1988) at Virginia State University, Randolph Research Farm, Petersburg, Virginia. Two populations were obtained by crossing insensitive plant introductions with sensitive commercial cultivars. Ratings on the scale of 1 to 5 (1 = 0 to 20% leaf injury, 2 = 21 to 40%, 3 = 41 to 60%, 4 = 61 to 80%, and 5 > 80%) were made on 160 F(2), F(3) progenies, and parental lines. Population mean injury ratings were recorded and estimates of genotypic, environmental, and phenotypic variances were computed. Estimates of heritability in the broadsense and of genetic advance were calculated for each population using F(2) and family component variance methods. Population means of the F(2) and F(3) progenies were not significantly different from their mid-parent values, suggesting that genetic variance was primarily additive. Broad-sense heritability estimates using F(2) variance method ranged from 51.4 to 70.5% and using family component variance method ranged from 62.1 to 75.6%. In this study, the computed genetic advance values closely parallel those of heritability estimated values. The high heritable nature of insensitivity would indicate that effective levels of insensitivity could be transferred to agronomically superior cultivars in a relatively short time.

Article Synopsis
  • - The text introduces a new method called temporal downscaling method (TDM) that converts annual energy emission scenarios into hourly data, addressing the gap between national energy models and hourly pollutant transport models.
  • - TDM utilizes optimization-based generator dispatch to account for emissions changes due to weather influences, and it is applied in the Virginia-Carolinas region to compare its results against the traditional SMOKE processing model.
  • - The study finds that TDM captures how emissions respond to weather conditions, particularly highlighting a positive correlation between nitrogen oxide emissions and ozone-forming weather, whereas the SMOKE method shows less sensitivity to changing weather patterns and can obscure variations in emissions across different policy scenarios.

Modeling impacts of indoor environmental variables on secondary organic aerosol formation.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA. Electronic address:

There are numerous air pollutants indoors including chemicals emitted from building environments as well as outdoor-origin species due to human activities. Despite the significance of indoor air quality, the atmospheric process indoors is not well studied. In this study, the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the oxidation of α-pinene blended with toluene was simulated under varying indoor environments (lamps, NO, ozone, and inorganic seed) using the UNIfied Partitioning Aerosol Reaction (UNIPAR) model.

The vertical distribution of tropospheric ozone (O) is crucial for understanding atmospheric physicochemical processes. A Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) method for the retrieval of tropospheric O vertical distribution from ground-based Multi-AXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements to tackle the issue of stratospheric O absorption interference faced by MAX-DOAS in obtaining tropospheric O profiles. Firstly, a hybrid model, named PCA-F_Regression-SVR, is developed to screen features sensitive to O inversion based on the MAX-DOAS spectra and EAC4 reanalysis O profiles, which incorporates Principal Component Analysis (PCA), F_Regression function, and Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithm.

Salt Lake City (SLC), UT, is an urban area where ozone (O) concentrations frequently exceed health standards. This study uses an observationally constrained photochemical box model to investigate the drivers of O production during the Salt Lake Regional Smoke, Ozone, and Aerosol Study (SAMOZA), which took place from August to September 2022 in SLC. During SAMOZA, a suite of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), oxides of nitrogen (NO), and other parameters were measured at the Utah Technical Center, a high-NO site in the urban core.
