1. Remaining improvements to the ice plant and dehumidification system will be completed in 2007.

2. Taking the seasonal variation of soil CH4 production rates into account, the change of CH4 transport efficiency can be related to air temperature and ice plant growing status.

3. Cadaverine is a diamine that increases in plant tissues exposed to heat stress, and experiments carried out in the ice plant have suggested a role in shoot-to-root signaling during heat stress
