There is some evidence that rice cultivars respond differently to elevated CO2 concentrations ([CO2]), but [CO2]×cultivar interaction has never been tested under open-field conditions across different sites. Here, we report on trials conducted at free-air enrichment (FACE) facilities two sites in Japan, Shizukuishi (2007 and 2008) Tsukuba (2010). The average growing-season air temperature was more than 5°C warmer Shizukuishi. For four both sites, the significant for brown yield, there no...
Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) may represent prodromal synucleinopathies. We report markedly reduced cardiac <sup>123</sup>I-metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake, consistent with the loss of sympathetic terminals, in idiopathic RBD. also demonstrate that this reduction is same magnitude as found patients Parkinson disease.

In patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), the presence of sleep-disordered breathing, including either obstructive sleep apnea or Cheyne-Stokes respiration-central apnea, is associated a poor prognosis. A large-scale clinical trial showed that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) did not improve prognosis such CHF, probably because insufficient breathing suppression. Recently, it was reported adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) can effectively treat breathing. However, there are no...
Rising air temperatures are projected to reduce rice yield and quality, whereas increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2 ]) can increase grain yield. For irrigated rice, ponded water is an important temperature environment, but few open-field evaluations available on the combined effects of [CO2 ], which limits our ability predict future production. We conducted free-air enrichment soil warming experiments, for three growing seasons determine quality response elevated ] (+200 μmol...
Abstract One of the many ways that climate change may affect human health is by altering nutrient content food crops. However, previous attempts to study effects increased atmospheric CO 2 on crop nutrition have been limited small sample sizes and/or artificial growing conditions. Here we present data from a meta-analysis nutritional contents edible portions 41 cultivars six major species grown using free-air enrichment (FACE) technology expose crops ambient and elevated concentrations in...
Background: Although stress-induced left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormality is a well-known marker for extensive coronary artery disease (CAD), no study has yet analyzed whether phase analysis of exercise-induced LV mechanical dyssynchrony may have enhanced diagnostic value over conventional perfusion in the detection multivessel CAD. Methods and Results: A total 278 patients with suspected or confirmed CAD underwent both exercise stress 99mTc-sestamibi gated single-photon emission...
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations will probably increase rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield but decrease grain nitrogen (GN) concentration. Grains attached to different positions in the panicles differ greatly weight and quality, their responses elevated (e[CO2]) are poorly understood, which limits our understanding of mechanisms enhancement quality degradation. Thus a free-air enrichment experiment was conducted examine effects e[CO2] on mass (GM), carbon (GC), GN accumulation spikelets upper...
The development of crops which are well suited to growth under future environmental conditions such as higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) is essential meeting the challenge ensuring food security in face growing human population and changing climate. A high-yielding indica rice variety (Oryza sativa L. cv. Takanari) has been recently identified a potential candidate for breeding, due its high productivity present [CO2]. To test if it could further increase elevated [CO2] (eCO2),...
Heat-tolerant rice cultivars have been developed as a countermeasure to poor grain appearance quality under high temperatures. Recent studies showed that elevated CO2 concentrations (E-[CO2]) also reduce quality. To determine whether heat-tolerant tolerate E-[CO2], we conducted free-air enrichment (FACE) experiment with 12 differing in heat tolerance.
Abstract The global atmospheric CO 2 concentration has been increasing annually. To determine the trait that effectively increases rice ( Oryza sativa L.) grain yield under increased concentrations, as predicted in near future, we grew a chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) and near-isogenic (NIL) producing high spikelet numbers per panicle (CSSL- GN1 NIL- APO1 , respectively) free-air enrichment (FACE) conditions examined effects of large sink capacity on yield, its components,...
Achieving higher canopy photosynthesis rates is one of the keys to increasing future crop production; however, this typically requires additional water inputs because increased loss through stomata. Lowland rice canopies presently consume a large amount water, and any further increase in usage may significantly impact local resources. This situation complicated by changing environmental conditions such as rising atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2 ]). Here, we modeled compared...
Increased concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to reduce the content essential elements such as protein, zinc, and iron in C3 grains legumes, threatening nutrition billions people next 50 years. However, this prediction has mostly been limited grain crops, moreover, we have little information about either underlying mechanism or an effective intervention mitigate these reductions. Here, present a broader picture reductions elemental among crops grown under elevated concentration....
SUMMARY Improving crop yield potential through an enhanced response to rising atmospheric CO 2 levels is effective strategy for sustainable production in the face of climate change. Large‐sized panicles (containing many spikelets per panicle) have been a recent ideal plant architecture (IPA) high‐yield rice breeding. However, few breeding programs proposed IPA under projected Here, we demonstrate cloning ( Oryza sativa ) quantitative trait locus MORE PANICLES 3 MP3 that improvement panicle...
The effects of free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) and elevated soil water temperature (warming) on the rice root–associated bacterial community were evaluated by clone library analysis 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Roots sampled at panicle initiation ripening stages 41 92 days after transplanting (DAT), respectively. relative abundances methanotrophs Methylosinus Methylocystis increased warming decreased FACE DAT, which indicated that microbial methane (CH4) oxidation in roots may have been...
A number of studies have shown that elevated atmospheric CO2 ([CO2]) affects rice yields and grain quality. However, the responses root-associated bacteria to [CO2] elevation not been characterized in a large-scale field study. We conducted free-air enrichment (FACE) experiment (ambient + 200 μmol⋅mol−1) using three cultivars (Akita 63, Takanari, Koshihikari) two experimental lines Koshihikari (chromosome segment substitution near-isogenic lines) determine effects on community structure...
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) have increased by more than 100 μmol mol−1 over the last century and are projected to rise further. Breeding cultivars with a greater response elevated [CO2] (E-[CO2]) can be an effective adaptation global climate change. We wondered whether E-[CO2]-responsive been unintentionally selected through empirical breeding as has increased. If so, modern may respond better E-[CO2] old ones. conducted free-air enrichment (FACE) experiments in 2 years examine...
Enhancing crop yield response to elevated CO2 concentrations (E-[CO2]) is an important adaptation measure climate change. A high-yielding indica rice cultivar 'Takanari' has recently been identified as a potential candidate for high productivity in E-[CO2] resulting fromowing its large sink and source capacities. To fully utilize these traits, nitrogen should play major role, but it unknown how N levels influence the of Takanari E-[CO2]. We therefore compared grain quality with those...
