We investigated the fitness benefits of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis thaliana using a mutational and transformational genetic approach. Genetic lines were designed to differ in the genes determining resistance signaling in a common genetic background. Two mutant lines (cpr1 and cpr5) constitutively activate SAR at different points in SAR signaling, and one mutant line (npr1...

Radar Polarimetry Radar Interferometry and Polarimetric SAR Interferometry represent the current culmination in ‘Microwave Remote Sensing’ technology, but we still need to progress very considerably in order to reach the limits of physical realizability. Whereas with radar polarimetry the textural fine-structure, target orientation, symmetries and material constituents can be recovered with con...

The high squint diving SAR is widely used to provide the information in advance. Large squint angle deduces the deeper coupling of range and azimuth of SAR echoes which makes SAR imaging more difficult. Especially, the large range migration of the deep couple heavily burdens the imaging processing time and storage units. The diving motion of platform worsens the situation. This paper proposes t...

Many applications require the ability to use airborne sensor data to perform accurate geopositioning. Synthetic Aperture Radar’s (SAR) ability to image from long distances and in poor weather makes it advantageous for such geopositioning. However, the ability to accurately position using SAR data is reliant on having accurate sensor support data (sensor position, velocity, etc...). This paper e...

The CORSAR project (Carbon Observation and Retrieval from SAR), which is supported by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), has the objective to examine polarimetric decomposition and polarimetric SAR interferometry methods for estimating the effects of canopy structure in biomass-backscatter relationships. Forest canopy height is a useful input parameter to yield models, carbon c...

DIR1 is a lipid transfer protein (LTP) postulated to complex with and/or chaperone a signal(s) to distant leaves during Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis. DIR1 was detected in phloem sap-enriched petiole exudates collected from wild-type leaves induced for SAR, suggesting that DIR1 gains access to the phloem for movement from the induced leaf. Occasionally the defective in induc...

SAR mosaics are often not precisely geo-referenced because topographic distortions were not removed during the mosaicking process due to the lack of adequate digital elevation models (DEMs). The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) has recently provided high-resolution DEM data with nearly global coverage, and makes it possible to geo-rectify SAR mosaics. Though techniques are available for ...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal processing poses a significant challenge due to its very large computation and data storage requirements. This paper presents the computational requirements of a typical high resolution satellite SAR data processing scenario. A classification of approaches to partitioning the SAR problem for parallel processing is given. The suitabilityof Networks of Workst...
