Abstract Field trials in Europe with Miscanthus over the past 25 years have demonstrated that interspecies hybrids such as M. × giganteus ( M g ) combine both high yield potentials and low inputs a wide range of soils climates. are expected to play major role provision perennial lignocellulosic biomass across much part lower carbon economy. However, even favourable policies some European countries, uptake has been slow. , sterile clone, can only be propagated vegetatively, which leads...
A molecular-marker linkage map has been constructed for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) using a one-way pseudo-testcross population based on the mating of multiple heterozygous individual with doubled haploid genotype. RFLP, AFLP, isoenzyme, and EST data from four collaborating laboratories within International Lolium Genome Initiative were combined to produce an integrated genetic containing 240 loci covering 811 cM seven groups. The contained 124 codominant markers, which 109...
1 Maximum attainable height varies greatly between tree species in tropical rain forests and covaries with demographic allometric traits. We examined these relationships 27 abundant a mixed dipterocarp forest. These were monitored over 3 years two 1-ha plots western Borneo. A 95-percentile upper limit was used to represent maximum height, avoid sample size differences among populations. 2 Average growth rate trunk diameter regressed against using likelihood model assuming that rates...
Abstract Genetic improvement through breeding is one of the key approaches to increasing biomass supply. This paper documents progress date for four perennial crops (PBCs) that have high output–input energy ratios: namely Panicum virgatum (switchgrass), species genera Miscanthus (miscanthus), Salix (willow) and Populus (poplar). For each crop, we report on size germplasm collections, efforts phenotype genotype, diversity available scale work as indicated by number attempted crosses. We also...
Leaf water content is one of the most common physiological parameters limiting efficiency photosynthesis and biomass productivity in plants including Miscanthus. Therefore, it great significance to determine or predict quickly non-destructively. In this study, we explored relationship between leaf diffuse reflectance spectra Three multivariate calibrations partial least squares (PLS), support vector machine regression (LSSVR), radial basis function (RBF) neural network (NN) were developed...
For conducting effective risk management in long-stay elderly people at a health service facility, we performed an open case-controlled study to evaluate the effect of intake probiotic-fermented milk containing Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS-fermented milk) on norovirus gastroenteritis occurring winter season during period. A total seventy-seven (mean age 84 years) were enrolled study. During 1-month period, there was no significant difference incidence between LcS-fermented...
Miscanthus is a perennial C4 grass that leading potential feedstock crop for the emerging bioenergy industry in North America, Europe and China. However, only single, sterile genotype of M. × giganteus (M×g), nothospecies derived from diploid sinensis (Msi) tetraploid sacchariflorus (Msa), currently available to farmers biomass production. To facilitate breeding Miscanthus, this study characterized genetic diversity population structure Msi its native range East Asia. A total 767 accessions...
Abstract Miscanthus is a perennial wild grass that of global importance for paper production, roofing, horticultural plantings, and an emerging highly productive temperate biomass crop. We report chromosome-scale assembly the paleotetraploid M. sinensis genome, providing resource links its chromosomes to related diploid Sorghum complex polyploid sugarcanes. The asymmetric distribution transposons across two homoeologous subgenomes proves paleo-allotetraploidy identifies several balanced...
Psychotic disorders are a significant risk factor for suicide, especially among young people. Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in the general population may share an etiological background with psychotic disorders. Therefore, present study examined association between PLEs and of suicide community sample adolescents.Psychotic-like experiences, suicidal feelings, self-harm behaviors were studied using self-report questionnaire administered to 5073 Japanese adolescents. Depression anxiety...
Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for a number of agronomically important traits perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) were identified by means reference molecular marker‐based genetic map. Replicated phenotypic data was obtained field‐assessed morphological and developmental as well the winter hardiness‐associated characters survival electrical conductivity. Marker‐trait association analysis performed methods, high degree congruence observed between respective results. QTLs detected such...
• 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...
Unilateral introgression from diploids to tetraploids has been hypothesized be an important evolutionary mechanism in plants. However, few examples have definitively identified, perhaps because data of sufficient depth and breadth were difficult obtain before the advent affordable high-density genotyping. Throughout Japan, tetraploid Miscanthus sacchariflorus diploid sinensis are common, occasionally hybridize. In this study, 667 M. 78 genotypes Japan characterized using 20 704 SNPs ten...
Abstract Miscanthus × giganteus (Mxg) is an important bioenergy feedstock crop, however, genetic diversity among legacy cultivars may be severely constrained. Only one introduction from Japan to Denmark of this sterile, triploid, vegetatively propagated crop was recorded in the 1930s. We sought determine if Mxg North America were all synonyms, and they derived European introduction. used 64 nuclear five chloroplast simple sequence repeat ( SSR ) markers estimate similarity for 27 accessions...

Nucleotide‐binding site (NBS) disease resistance genes play an integral role in defending plants from a range of pathogens and insect pests. Consequently, number recent studies have focused on NBS‐encoding molecular breeding programmes for several important plant species. Little information, however, has been reported with emphasis systematic analysis comparison maize. In the present study, 109 were identified based complete genome sequence maize ( Zea mays cv. B73), classified as four...
The plant hormone ethylene is generated from a unique precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC). In previous studies, ACC deaminase, which degrades to alpha-ketobutyrate and ammonia, was found in four strains of Pseudomonas, characterized, sequenced. To verify the wider distribution deaminase microorganisms, we purified sequenced yeast Hansenula saturnus. enzyme active toward ACC, D-serine dl-coronamic acid, indicating same stereospecificity as Pseudomonas enzyme, but unlike...
