… 293T cells were transfected with expression vectors for Ras family members tagged with
glutathione S–transferase (GST) and with GEFs by the calcium phosphate method. Cells were …

The Xa1 gene in rice confers resistance to Japanese race 1 of Xanthomonas oryzae pv.
oryzae, the causal pathogen of bacterial blight (BB). We isolated the Xa1 gene by a map-based …

… yet unidentified environmental factor(s) triggers defense gene expression in WRKY45-ox
and BTH-treated plants. We speculate that the environmental factor(s) could activate the same …

Several approaches have recently been adopted to improve Agrobacterium‐mediated
transformation of rice, both to generate the large number of T‐DNA insertion plants needed for …

Using an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system, we have introduced the intact gene
of maize phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), which catalyzes the initial fixation of …

To improve the iron content of rice, we have transferred the entire coding sequence of the
soybean ferritin gene into Oryza sativa (L. cv. Kita-ake) by Agrobacterium-mediated …

… As described in the previous paper (Toki and Miura, 1979), it … of saturation was increased to
Skempton’s B—value of great … and shear stresses, at; and s, axial and radial strains, 8, and T …

… By applying back pressure of 196 kPa for 1 hour, a sufficient saturation was incidentally
accomplished ; the degree of saturation was checked by Skempton’s B—value greater than 0.98 …

Genome‐editing technologies consisting of targeted mutagenesis and gene targeting enable
us to modify genes of interest rapidly and precisely. The discovery in 2012 of CRISPR/…

… In eq 2, I(s) represents the intensity distribution of each peak that is read out from the WAXD
pattern, s is the radial coordinate in reciprocal space in nm -1 unit (s = 2 (sin θ)/λ, where λ is …
