Open AccessInformatics framework of traditional Sino-Japanese medicine (Kampo) unveiled by factor analysis
Kampo, an empirically validated system of traditional Sino-Japanese medicine, aims to treat patients holistically. This is in contrast to modern medicine, which focuses in principle on treating the affected pa...

Linkage map**, molecular cloning and functional analysis of soybean gene Fg2 encoding flavonol 3-O-glucoside (1 → 6) rhamnosyltransferase
There are substantial genotypic differences in the levels of flavonol glycosides (FGs) in soybean leaves. The first objective of this study was to identify and locate genes responsible for FG biosynthesis in t...

Molecular Breeding of Low-Phytic-Acid Grains in Rice by Using the Promoter of 18 kDa Oleosin
In most plant seeds, phosphorus is stored primarily as myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate (InsP6; phytic acid). Monogastric animals are unable to utilize phytic acid phosphorus efficiently because they lac...

Shoots grafted into the upper crowns of tall Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) show foliar gas exchange characteristics similar to those of intact shoots
The lower foliar photosynthetic rates seen in shoots in the upper crowns of tall trees than those in seedlings could be caused by extrinsic factors, such as hydraulic conductance, for shoots or by irreversible...

Molecular Cloning of a New Aquaporin Superfamily in Mammals
Currently, aquaporins (AQPs) are divided into two subfamilies: AQP1 group and AQP3 group. AQP1 group is water-selective AQP and has 6 members in mammals: AQPO, AQP1, AQP2, AQP4, AQP5, AQP6. They share similar ...

Composition of cyclic peptide toxins among strains ofMicrocystis aeruginosa (blue-green algae, cyanobacteria)
The distribution of the cyclic heptapeptide toxin, microcystin, was studied among 31 strains of Microcystis aeruginosa. Microcystins-RR, -YR and -LR were detected in fifteen strains and microcystin-LR was in t...

Heptapeptide toxin production during the batch culture of two Microcystis species (Cyanobacteria)
Changes in the content of cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins called microcystins were investigated during batch culture of two Microcystis species using high performance liquid chromatography. After adsorption to O...
