Being sessile in nature, plants have to withstand various adverse environmental stress conditions including both biotic and abiotic stresses.Comparatively, abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, high temperature, and cold pose major threat to agriculture by negatively impacting plant growth and yield worldwide.Rice is one of the most widely co
Smart mobile devices are being used increasingly, especially among young people who frequently use them, for ever more diverse purposes.The number of mobile apps has increased drastically in a relatively short period.Thus, mobile apps can turn a smart phone into an e-reader, payment instrument, planning resource, game console, and more.Therefore, w
BackgroundsAspiration pneumonia is a dominant form of community-acquired and healthcare-associated pneumonia, and a leading cause of death among ageing populations.However, the risk factors for developing aspiration pneumonia in older adults have not been fully evaluated.The purpose of the present study was to determine the risk factors for aspirat
To clarify the factors responsible for the maintenance of a high rate of photosynthesis at the ripening stage in the high-yield rice cultivar Akenohoshi, as compared with that in a Japanese standard cultivar, Nipponbare, we investigated the nitrogen content of leaves, focusing on the accumulation and the partitioning of nitrogen in rice plants.The
