Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning device includes a compressor, a heating unit, an outside air heat exchanger, a wind speed regulation unit, and a controller. The heating unit includes a heating heat exchanger and heats ventilation air supplied to a space to be air conditioned using a high-pressure refrigerant as a heat source. The wind speed regulation unit regulates a wind speed of air supplied to the outside air heat exchanger. The control unit performs, as a defrosting operation of defrosting the outside air heat exchanger, a dry defrosting mode for evaporating and removing frost adhering to the outside air heat exchanger in a state where the outside air is at a low temperature. In the dry defrosting mode, the controller causes the wind speed regulation unit to supply air to the outside air heat exchanger at a wind speed in a range determined to promote evaporation and removal of frost.

Abstract: An identified 90 bp sequence insertion in the GB0331 genome disrupts the coding sequence of the FAD2-1D gene near the 3? end of the protein coding region. This sequence is not found in reference genomes of other Gossypium species. This DNA segment can be used to track the high oleic fad-2-1D mutant allele for introgression into cotton varieties such as Pima and upland cotton varieties. This enables a non-GMO strategy to elevate the oleic acid content of commercial cottonseed oil.
