Experimental validation of inter-subspecific genetic diversity in rice represented by the differences between the DNA sequences of ‘Nipponbare’ and ‘93-11’
The pedigrees of three sequenced rice cultivars were analyzed to show that a majority of the genetic composition of ‘Nipponbare’ originates from japonica cultivars while the minority originates from indica cultiv...

Molten-salt synthesis of tungsten oxide nanotubes: Morphological and gas sensitivity
A very simple molten-salt method was used to synthesize WO3 nanotubes at moderate temperature (600 °C). The outer and inner diameters of the WO3 nanotubes were about 100 nm and 30 nm,with a length of dozens of mi...

Millennial temperature reconstruction based on tree-ring widths of Qilian juniper from Wulan, Qinghai Province, China
The climate of the past 1000 years is an important context for evaluating the recent climate warming. However, there are few 1000-year-long climate reconstructions with annual resolution in the Qinghai-Tibet P...

Coexistence of Fermi arcs and Fermi pockets in a high-Tc copper oxide superconductor
One outstanding puzzle in high-temperature cuprate superconductors relates to the 'Fermi surface pocket' that is expected to emerge when the material is slightly doped or underdoped. Such pockets were recently...

A novel SLC4A1 variant in an autosomal dominant distal renal tubular acidosis family with a severe phenotype
Mutations in SLC4A1, encoding the chloride-bicarbonate exchanger AE1, cause distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a disease of defective urinary acidification by the distal nephron. We searched for SLC4A1 gene mu...

SRC-3 deficient mice developed fat redistribution under high-fat diet
An emerging concept suggests that an aberrant distributed body fat is closely linked to the occurrence of metabolic abnormalities. Mice deficient in steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3) are shown to be prote...
