• Premise of the study: Looming petroleum shortages and projected negative impacts human-induced climate change may be partly alleviated by development use bioenergy feedstock crops. Miscanthus ×giganteus, a highly productive sterile triploid hybrid grass that was discovered in Japan several decades ago, has considerable potential as an alternative source energy. Given risks, however, involved reliance upon production one clone this hybrid, which is natural cross between sacchariflorus...
Concern has been raised about the importation and transportation of GM B. napus, because feral herbicide-tolerant napus plants have found growing around some major seaports in Japan. We should monitor persistence these populations including cultivars to prevent negative impact on native plant communities. In this study, we examined numbers at 19 sites Kashima seaport Japan once a month from July 2004 December 2005. results, ranged 0 202 depending and/or seasons. Out sites, observed seed...
Accumulation of information about natural hybridization between GM soybean (Glycine max) and wild soja) is required for risk assessment evaluation to establish biosafety regulations in Japan. This particularly important areas where relatives cultivated are grown (i.e. East Asia including Japan). To collect on temporal spatial factors affecting variation soybean, a two year experiment was established that included one five cultivars with different maturity dates. Hybridization frequencies...
Dermal fibroblast aging contributes to aging-associated functional defects in the skin since dermal fibroblasts maintain homeostasis by interacting with epidermis and extracellular matrix. Here, we found that puerarin, an isoflavone present Pueraria lobata (Kudzu), can prevent development of aging-phenotype human fibroblasts. Normal (NHDFs) were subcultivated high-passage cells selected as senescent cells, whereas low-passage a young cell control. Puerarin treatment increased proliferation...
The introgression from genetically modified soybean (Glycine max (L)) to wild soja Sieb. et Zucc.) could be threat the genetic diversity of soybean. Flowering synchrony is essential occurrence outcrossing, but flowering phenology less well researched than that cultivated We developed models predict initiation soybean, based on dates five accessions different latitudes (31.4°N 42.6°N) in growth chambers which temperature and day length varied. Our proposed predicted date natural habitat well;...
There are concerns that genetically modified soybean might threaten the genetic diversity of wild populations distributed in East Asia because has no crossing barrier with soybean. A simple and effective method to prevent hybridization via pollen flow is spatial separation between two species their occurs only when they grow close proximity. Therefore, invasiveness needs be known order secure appropriate distances. As seeds dispersed mechanically by pod dehiscence, an experiment was...
Field trials were conducted in Japan under different growing conditions to better understand seed production of wild soybean ( Glycine soja Seib. et Zucc.). The objectives these evaluate yield and components soybean: (1) across 11 diverse populations grown favorable assess potential, (2) planting densities (112, 208, 416, 832 plants/m 2 ) intra-specific competition, (3) (favorable, ruderal, natural) the impacts environmental stress inter-specific competition. Significant differences number...
Abstract Dermal fibroblast aging contributes to aging-associated functional defects in the skin since dermal fibroblasts are important maintain homeostasis by interacting with epidermis and extracellular matrix. Here we identified that puerarin, an isoflavone contained Pueraria lobata (Kudzu), can prevent aging-phenotype of human fibroblasts. Puerarin treatment increased proliferating cells decreased senescence-associated beta-galactosidase positive high-passage culture Moreover, puerarin...
