Plant growth is severely affected by toxic concentrations of the non-essential heavy metal cadmium (Cd). Comprehensive transcriptome analysis RNA-Seq following exposure required to further understand plant responses Cd and facilitate future systems-based analyses underlying regulatory networks. In this study, rice plants were hydroponically treated with 50 µM for 24 hours ∼60,000 expressed transcripts, including transcripts that could not be characterized microarray-based approaches,...
Here we present TENOR (Transcriptome ENcyclopedia Of Rice, http://tenor.dna.affrc.go.jp), a database that encompasses large-scale mRNA sequencing (mRNA-Seq) data obtained from rice under wide variety of conditions. Since the elucidation ability plants to adapt various growing conditions is key issue in plant sciences, it great interest understand regulatory networks genes responsible for environmental changes. We used mRNA-Seq and performed time-course transcriptome analysis rice, Oryza...
Functions of most genes predicted in the soybean genome have not been clarified. A mutant library with a high mutation density would be helpful for functional studies and identification novel alleles useful breeding. Development cost-effective high-throughput protocols using next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies is expected to simplify retrieval mutants mutations interest. To increase density, seeds Japanese elite cultivar Enrei were treated chemical mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate...
Rice growth is severely affected by toxic concentrations of the nonessential heavy metal cadmium (Cd). To elucidate molecular basis response to Cd stress, we performed mRNA sequencing rice following our previous study on exposure high (Oono et al., 2014). In this study, plants were hydroponically treated with low and approximately 211 million sequence reads mapped onto IRGSP-1.0 reference genome sequence. Many genes, including some identified under concentration in found be responsive...
Carbon-based materials are commonly used as anodes in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), whereas metal and metal-oxide-based not frequently because of low electrical output. Stainless steel is a low-cost material with high conductivity physical strength. In this study, we investigated the power generation using flame-oxidized (FO) stainless (SSAs) single-chambered air-cathode MFCs. The FO-SSA performance was compared to untreated SSA carbon cloth anode (CCA), common carbonaceous electrode....
Abstract Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is a widely used index of water-quality assessment. Since bioelectrochemical BOD biosensors require anaerobic conditions for anodic reactions, they are not directly in aerobic environments such as aeration tanks. Normally, the closed-type, where anode packed inside closed chamber to avoid exposure oxygen. In this study, novel open-type biosensor was designed in-situ monitoring during intermittent aeration. The anode, without any protection against...
Abstract To find the abundant and characteristic fibrolytic enzyme‐coding gene expressed in fiber‐associating microbiota, a metatranscriptomic data set was obtained from it compared with that of rumen fluid‐floating microbiota two metagenomic sets. Fibrolytic bacteria associate plant polysaccharide hydrolyze rumen. We assembly three ruminally fistulated Holstein cows fed timothy ( Phleum pratense ) hay. Each involved over thousand glycoside hydrolase (GH) transcripts accounted for about 1%...
During apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) storage, a loss in fruit firmness can occur. This is frequently associated with mealiness, an undesirable trait. There have been studies, such as phenotypic analyses and transcriptomics, well others employing transgenic approach, focusing on this Certain genetic approaches, quantitative trait loci (QTL) however, not attempted. In study, to identify characterize QTLs controlling flesh mealiness investigate their application breeding, we performed...
Fuji' is one of the most popular and highly-produced apple cultivars worldwide, has been frequently used in breeding programs.The development genotypic markers for preferable phenotypes 'Fuji' required.Here, we aimed to define haplotypes find associations between five traits (harvest day, fruit weight, acidity, degree watercore, flesh mealiness) by using 115 accessions related 'Fuji'.Through re-sequencing genome, total 2,820,759 variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
Grain size is an important trait that affects rice yield. Although many genes contribute to grain have been cloned from mutants or by quantitative locus (QTL) analysis based on bi-parental mapping, the molecular mechanisms underlying grain-size determination remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified lines with largest and detected novel QTLs affecting size.We screened National Institute for Agrobiological Sciences Genebank database two lines, BG23 widest LG10 longest grain....
Comparative analysis using available genomic resources within closely related species is an effective way to investigate sequence and structural diversity. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) has undergone significant physiological morphological changes during its domestication local adaptation. We present a complete bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) physical map for the aus rice cultivar 'Kasalath', which covers 90% of temperate japonica 'Nipponbare'. Examination distances between computational...
The elucidation of novel transcripts and their expression in response to various stress conditions is necessary understand the transcriptional network plants as an adaptation biotic abiotic stresses. We performed strand-specific RNA-Seq (ssRNA-Seq) on rice exposed cadmium (Cd) for 24 h investigated cis-natural antisense (cis-NATs), a class endogenous coding or non-protein-coding RNAs with sequence complementarity opposite strands RAP transcripts.Many possessed cis-NATs these were responsive...
A determination method was developed for styrene dimers and trimers in instant noodles contained polystyrene cups. Soup drained water were extracted by shaking with n-hexane, the sonicating n-hexane. Samples containing both soup a combination of methods. The extracts cleaned partition acetonitrile then eluted through Florisil column. determined GC-FID using 1, 3-diphenylpropane benzyl n-butyl phthalate as standards. recoveries two four from spiked samples ranged 77.5% to 111.7%. quantitation...
We report here a case of central sleep apnea syndrome associated with frequent nocturnal premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that were successfully eliminated using oxygen therapy. He was admitted to our hospital for chest discomfort during the night. The symptoms frequently woke him up sleep. His electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus rhythm accompanied by PVCs. 24 hour ambulatory ECG detected PVCs night (more than 1000 beats/hour). Additionally, polysomnography demonstrated severe...
