Abstract A comparative analysis of drought and high temperature responsive proteins, which means to provide insight into the molecular mechanism of potato stress tolerance. In the presented study, two potato cultivars, differing in dehydration tolerance, were compared. An analysis of their morphological, physiological and root proteome related traits proved that, although water shortage, as well as high temperatures cause the dehydration of plants, the response to those stresses at the proteome level was significantly different. LC–MS/MS protein identification showed that in roots of the sensitive cultivar, in response to drought, most changes concern increased abundance of defence- and detoxification-related proteins, while in tolerant plants, significant changes in abundance of energy and carbohydrate metabolism related proteins were observed (data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD020259). Moreover, in response to high temperatures, in the sensitive cultivar, decreased abundance of proteins involved in cell energetic metabolism was detected, while in the tolerant cultivar, the majority of proteins from this group was abundant. It can be suggested that such comparative proteome analysis indicates the fine tuning metabolism as a major factor of stress tolerance of potato plants.

The graphite-fuel matrix in the core region of HTGRs can come into direct contact with air at high temperature during air ingress accident. Nuclear grade graphite has been shown to undergo oxidation when subjected to oxidizing flow at high temperatures. There is, however, no agreement on the relative importance of the numerous factors that can contribute to the overall rate of oxidation. Examples of some of these potential factors include graphite temperature, fluid temperature, fluid composition, graphite composition, and graphite surface conditions. Separate effects experiments have, in general, not been able to fully capture these complex interactions. In this work, a new experimental apparatus was designed to conduct mixed-effect experiments to understand the complicated interactions that would influence the oxidation rate and heat removal rate of graphite exposed to a high temperature air ingress. Utilizing thermographic methods, experiments detailing the local temperature response of a representative graphite flow channel were conducted at high temperatures (1173 K) in both oxidizing and inert gaseous environments.

The increasing temperature is going to be more vulnerable for cool season crops like potato which requires an optimum productivity temperature of 18 to 20 °C. Thus, breeding for heat tolerance has become very important. Therefore, some previously used indices for abiotic stress tolerance have been used in our study for screening of high temperature stress tolerance in potato. Three high yielding (Kufri jyoti, Kufri megha and Kufri pokraj) and two local (Rangpuria and Badami) commonly grown potato cultivars were selected for our experiment. Potato cultivars were sown under normal condition and two high temperature conditions (polyhouse and early season) and indices such as HSI (heat susceptibility index), HTI (heat tolerance index), GM (geometric mean) and HII (heat intensity index) were used to evaluate the performance of the cultivars under all the three temperature conditions. The positive and significant correlation between HTI (heat tolerance index), and GM (geometric mean) as well as with tuber yield under all the conditions revealed that these indices were efficient in selecting the high temperature tolerant potato cultivars. We recorded the equal applicability of these two indices for both high yielding and local group of potato cultivars. Our study revealed that cultivar Kufri megha and Rangpuria showed higher heat tolerance between high yielding and local cultivars respectively.

AbstractDue to the high temperatures used for high deposition rate microcrystalline (μc-Si:H) and polycrystalline silicon, there is a need for compact and temperature-stable doped layers. In this study we report on films grown by the layer-by-layer method (LbL) using VHF PECVD. Growth of an amorphous silicon layer is alternated by a hydrogen plasma treatment. In LbL, the surface reactions are separated time-wise from the nucleation in the bulk. We observed that it is possible to incorporate dopant atoms in the layer, without disturbing the nucleation. Even at high substrate temperatures (up to 400°C) doped layers can be made microcrystalline. At these temperatures, in the continuous wave case, crystallinity is hindered, which is generally attributed to the out-diffusion of hydrogen from the surface and the presence of impurities (dopants).We observe that the parameter window for the treatment time for p-layers is smaller compared to n-layers. Moreover we observe that for high temperatures, the nucleation of p-layers is more adversely affected than for n-layers. Thin, doped layers have been structurally, optically and electrically characterized. The best n-layer made at 400°C, with a thickness of only 31 nm, had an activation energy of 0.056 eV and a dark conductivity of 2.7 S/cm, while the best p-layer made at 350°C, with a thickness of 29 nm, had an activation energy of 0.11 V and a dark conductivity of 0.1 S/cm. The suitability of these high temperature n-layers has been demonstrated in an n-i-p microcrystalline silicon solar cell with an unoptimized μc-Si:H i-layer deposited at 250°C and without buffer. The Voc of the cell is 0.48 V and the fill factor is 70 %.
