This paper presents a Fuzzy Neural Network-based irrigation water control system for realizing accurate irrigation and water saving. The control system consists of a PC based server with a FNN-based control module, data sampling device, CAN bus communication network and remote irrigation units with sensors and controller. It can estimate irrigation water compensation according to the irrigation environments. By using Fuzzy Logic function and Fuzzy Neural Network, the controller module can fuse multi-source information that from Internet, sensors and other sources to make decision of irrigation water compensation on the control spot. Experimental result indicates that the compensation generated by FNN have higher precision than that by FL in this irrigation water control system.

We have isolated three cis-dominant mutations which dramatically enhance DUR1 ,2 gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutant phenotype, which is expressed both in haploid and MATa/MAT alpha diploid strains, does not appear to be an alteration of the normal control system for this gene because its expression remained fully inducible and sensitive to nitrogen catabolite repression. Instead, we found much higher levels of DUR1 ,2-specific RNA under both uninduced and induced conditions, i.e., the overproduction trait was superimposed on normal regulation of the gene. The mutations seemed to affect gene expression in a unidirectional manner or to be specific for DUR1 ,2 gene expression, because other genes in proximity to the mutations were not affected. We feel that these mutations may alter the chromatin structure in the vicinity of the DUR1 ,2 upstream control sequences or, alternatively, may be Ty insertions which no longer possess the ROAM characteristics reported by others and ourselves.

Abstract A Multi-Pot Box System (MPBS) was tested during three growing seasons (Fall 1996, Fall 1997, and Fall 1998) for efficient use of irrigation and rainfall in container-grown landscape plant production. This system was compared to a conventional (control) system consisting of black containers spaced on 30 cm (1 ft) centers. Results showed that the MPBS was successful in improving efficient use of irrigation and rainfall for Viburnum odoratissimum, Ker-Gawl. (sweet viburnum). Significant portions of the total rainfall were captured during the Fall 1996 (71.3%) and Fall 1997 (54%) seasons and later supplied to plants increasing rainfall effectiveness and irrigation water use efficiency. Thus, the need for the irrigation applications was significantly reduced for the plants grown in the MPBS. The seasonal irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) was significantly higher for the MPBS compared to the control system in all seasons, demonstrating that significantly less irrigation water was necessary to produce the same amount or greater plant dry mass (shoot and root). Growth indices [(average width + height) / 2)] and shoot and root dry weights were usually significantly higher in all seasons (with exception of the shoot dry weight in Fall 1997) for the plants grown in the MPBS. Results indicate a potential opportunity for using the MPBS for efficient irrigation and water savings for container-grown landscape plants

A water-saving irrigation monitoring system was designed based on ZigBee wireless sensor network and LabView simulation platform. This system can solve the problems of unnecessary waste caused by the traditional artificial irrigation water and wiring complex of water-saving control system. The information of each node and data acquisition can be detected by the ZigBee wireless network monitoring system. Upper machine was designed by LabView virtual design platform, and all aspects of organic characteristics of the crop water requirement rule were combined through the fuzzy control decision support system. The date of the irrigation water would be directed, and achieved a fine management of water and scientific irrigation.
