Abstract Plant genomes remain highly fragmented and are often characterized by hundreds to thousands of assembly gaps. Here, we report chromosome-level reference phased genome Ophiorrhiza pumila , a camptothecin-producing medicinal plant, through an ordered multi-scaffolding experimental validation approach. With 21 gaps contig N50 18.49 Mb, is one the most complete plant assembled date. We also 273 nitrogen-containing metabolites, including diverse monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs). A...
In rice plants grown under red light supplemented with blue (red/blue-light PPFD ratio was 4/1), photosynthetic rates per unit leaf area measured white at 1,600 and 250 µmol m–2 s–1 were higher than those in the alone. The associated total N content of leaves, which accompanied by larger amounts key components photosynthesis-limiting processes, including Rubisco, Cyt f, Chl LHCII. These results suggested that increase leaves induced supplemental enhanced both light-saturated light-limited...
Plant factories where leafy vegetables are cultivated until harvest in closed systems with artificial lighting were proposed, developed, and implemented Japan during the 1980s. During 1990s, products from these received high evaluations by food service industry, to which they primarily catered. 2000s, commercial production of nursery plants fruits was initiated plant factories. Since late factory technology has been introduced worldwide, particularly Asian countries. also provide good...
Kaposi's sarcoma associated-herpes virus encodes two proteins, MIR (modulator of immune recognition) 1 and 2, which are involved in the evasion host immunity. MIR1 2 have been shown to function as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for recognition-related molecules (e.g. major histocompatibility complex class I, B7-2, ICAM-1) through BKS (bovine herpesvirus 4, virus, Swinepox virus) subclass plant homeodomain (PHD) domain, termed BKS-PHD domain. Here we show that human genome also a novel...
Hypericum perforatum is a perennial herbaceous plant and an extract from this has significant antidepressant effect when administered to humans. The characterized by its secretory glands, also known as dark which are mainly visible on leaves flowers. current study evaluates the influence of several environmental factors developmental stages accumulation synthesis hypericin pseudohypericin (Hy-G), major bioactive constituents, in H. plants.The appearance glands different parts plant, under...
Abstract We previously reported a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase (E3), designated as c-MIR, which targets B7-2 to lysosomal degradation and down-regulates the surface expression through ubiquitination of its cytoplasmic tail. is well known costimulatory molecule for Ag presentation, suggesting that manipulation c-MIR modulates immune responses in vivo. To examine this hypothesis, we generated genetically modified mice was expressed under an invariant chain (Ii) promoter. Dendritic cells derived...
Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) essential modulator (NEMO), a component of the inhibitor κB kinase (IKK) complex, controls NF-κB signaling by binding to ubiquitin chains. Structural studies NEMO provided rationale for specific between UBAN (ubiquitin in ABIN and NEMO) domain linear (Met-1-linked) di-ubiquitin Full-length can also interact with Lys-11-, Lys-48-, Lys-63-linked chains varying length cells. Here, we show that purified full-length binds preferentially competition lysine-linked defined...
We studied the effects of varying light quality on flowering, photosynthetic rate and fruit yield everbearing strawberry plants (
Abstract The effects of blue light supplementation to red on growth, morphology and N utilization in rice plants (Oryza sativa L. cv. Sasanishiki Nipponbare) were investigated. Plants grown under two quality treatments, alone (R) or supplemented with (RB; red/blue-light photosynthetic photon flux density [PPFD] ratio was 4/1), at 380 mol m−2 s−1 PPFD. biomass production both cultivars RB conditions higher than that R conditions. This enhancement caused by an increase the net assimilation...
We investigated the views of newly graduating physicians on their preparedness for postgraduate clinical training, and evaluated relationship with educational environment pass rate National Medical Licensure Examination (NMLE). Data were obtained from 2429 PGY-1 physicians-in-training (response rate, 36%) using a mailed cross-sectional survey. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) inventory was used to assess learning at 80 Japanese medical schools. Preparedness assessed...
The polyubiquitin chain is generated by the sequential addition of ubiquitin moieties to target molecules, a reaction between specific lysine residues that catalyzed E3 ligase. Lys48-linked and Lys63-linked chains are well established inducers proteasome-dependent degradation signal transduction, respectively. concept has recently emerged chain-mediated regulation even more complex because various types atypical have been discovered in vivo. Here, we demonstrate novel functions as an...
Abstract Gene-to-gene coexpression analysis provides fundamental information and is a promising approach for predicting unknown gene functions in plants. We investigated various associations the expression of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to predict an unbiased manner. obtained more than 300 microarrays from publicly available databases our own hybridizations, here, we present networks modules. The topological characteristics were highly heterogenous. extracted 465 total modules data set by...
The detection of cytosolic DNA, derived from pathogens or host cells, by receptors is essential for appropriate immune responses. Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) a newly identified DNA receptor that produces cyclic GMP-AMP, which activates stimulator interferon genes (STING), resulting in TBK1-IRF3 pathway activation followed the production type I interferons. Here we report crystal structure human cGAS. revealed cluster lysine and arginine residues forms positively charged binding surface...
Plant factories with artificial lighting have been developed to improve food production, functional ingredients, and profitability. Intensive research has performed elucidate the effects of light intensity wavelength on plant growth nutritional quality use light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In particular, monochromatic red, blue, or simultaneous red + blue studied because these wavelengths are predominantly used for photosynthesis. We examined alternating provided by LEDs over a period 24 hours...
This study aimed to analyze the effects of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) on fruit biomass radiation-use efficiency (FBRUE) dwarf tomato cultivar ‘Micro-Tom’ and determine suitable PPFD for enhancing FBRUE under LED light at reproductive growth stage. We performed four treatments white light: 200, 300, 500, 700 μmol m −2 s −1 . The results demonstrated that a higher led fresh dry weights plants lowered specific leaf areas. (RUE) were highest 300 decreased by 37.7% because RUE 25%...
Low root-zone temperatures (RZTs) are known to cause various physiological changes in plants, which ultimately result reduced overall plant growth and productivity. However, the effects of temperature on below-ground parts remain largely unknown; a notable gap exists understanding low RZTs plants. Therefore, we explored impact short-term cooling (RZTC) growth, responses, amino acid levels Taraxacum coreanum hydroponic systems. We also investigated monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory activity...
Object Self-measurement of blood pressure (BP) might offer some advantages in diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation patient management hypertension. Recently, wrist-cuff devices for self-measurement BP have gained more than one-third the world market share. In present study, we validated compared results between wrist- arm-cuff devices. The factors affecting accuracy were also studied. Method research group to assess validity automated measuring device consisted 13 institutes Japan, which two...
