Open AccessComparative analysis of root associated microbes in tropical cultivated and weedy rice (Oryza spp.) and temperate cultivated rice
Weedy rice is a major problem in paddy fields around the world. It is well known that weedy rice appears to grow faster and mature earlier than cultivated rice. It is possible that differences in the root micr...

Open AccessHyperfibrinolysis and fibrinolysis shutdown in patients with traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with coagulation/fibrinolysis disorders. We retrospectively evaluated 61 TBI cases transported to hospital within 1 h post-injury. Levels of thrombin-antithrombin III...

Open AccessLarval transcriptomic responses of a stony coral, Acropora tenuis, during initial contact with the native symbiont, Symbiodinium microadriaticum
Although numerous dinoflagellate species (Family Symbiodiniaceae) are present in coral reef environments, Acropora corals tend to select a single species, Symbiodinium microadriaticum, in early life stages, even ...

Open AccessMechanism of self/nonself-discrimination in Brassica self-incompatibility
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a breeding system that promotes cross-fertilization. In Brassica, pollen rejection is induced by a haplotype-specific interaction between pistil determinant SRK (S receptor kinase) an...

Open AccessEvaluation of psychological stress in confined environments using salivary, skin, and facial image parameters
Detecting the influence of psychological stress is particularly important in prolonged space missions. In this study, we determined potential markers of psychological stress in a confined environment. We exami...

Trans-acting small RNA determines dominance relationships in Brassica self-incompatibility
In diploid organisms, the expression levels of the two inherited alleles can be biased by dominant or recessive relationships, which determine the final phenotype. In Brassica, self-incompatibility in pollen is d...

Evolution of self-compatibility in Arabidopsis by a mutation in the male specificity gene
Self-fertilization in plants can cause inbreeding depression, with 'selfed' offspring suffering reduced fitness. But — as Darwin predicted — selfing may be favoured when pollinators or mates are scarce. The ma...

The S receptor kinase determines self-incompatibility in Brassica stigma
The self-incompatibility possessed by Brassica is an intraspecific reproductive barrier by which the stigma rejects self-pollen but accepts non-self-pollen for fertilization. The molecular/biochemical bases of re...
