Plants develop juvenile phase to adult phase in vegetative stage. Although soybean is a very important crop worldwide, there has been only one study of the juvenile–adult phase change. In this study, we determined that the juvenile–adult phase change occurred at different stages in two soybean cultivars that differ in their photosensitivity. Cultivar ‘Enrei’ (E1e2e3E4) is weakly photosensitive and cultivar ‘Peking’ (E1E2E3E4) is strongly photosensitive. In ‘Enrei’, the leaf size gradually increased at a constant leaf position regardless of the difference in day length. In ‘Peking’ plants transferred to short‐day conditions at several leaf development stages, leaf size gradually increased at different leaf positions. Expression of miR156 by ‘Enrei’ transferred to short‐day conditions had nearly the same pattern as that of ‘Enrei’ grown under long‐day conditions. In ‘Peking’, the expression of miR156 had different patterns in younger leaves of plants subjected to either a short‐day treatment or long‐day conditions. These results indicate that the E2 and E3 loci that regulate photosensitivity also regulate the expression of miR156 and the juvenile–adult phase change in soybean.  相似文献   

Nucleotide sequence homology to bovine viral diarrhea virus 2 (BVDV 2) in the 5′ untranslated region of BVDVs from cattle with mucosal disease or persistent infection in Japan     

M. Nagai  M. Sato  H. Nagano  H. Pang  X. Kong  T. Murakami  T. Ozawa  H. Akashi 《Veterinary microbiology》1998,60(2-4):271-276

Cytopathogenic and non-cytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDVs) were isolated from cattle with mucosal disease or persistent infection in Japan. These isolates were compared for antigenic properties by cross-neutralization tests with Japanese reference strains of BVDV belonging to classical type 1. Significantly low cross-reactivity to reference strains was noted, indicating the viruses to possibly represent a new serotype in Japan. Thus, to determine the genotype of the isolates, nucleotide sequences of the 5′ untranslated region were determined and compared with those of previously reported BVDV 1 and 2. The isolates were clearly shown to belong to BVDV 2, not to BVDV 1.  相似文献

Increase in the Nitrogen Content of Soil by the Introduction of Earthworms into Soil     

Takashi Ozawa  Chandra Prasad Risal  Ryoko Yanagimoto 《Soil Science and Plant Nutrition》2005,51(6):917-920

The contribution of an earthworm species ( Amynthas vittatus ) to the increase of the nitrogen content of soil was examined. Three specimens of adult earthworms were introduced into 300 g of soil (Gray Lowland soil, silty clay) supplemented with 1% carboxymethyl cellulose in a container and incubated for 32 d at 22°C in the dark. The contents of total-N, NH₄-N and NO₃-N, and the population of aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil significantly increased after incubation with the earthworms, while the natural abundance of ¹⁵N (δ¹⁵N) in soil decreased. The amount of nitrogen in the earthworms did not decrease during the incubation in the microcosm. Both acetylene reduction activity of the microcosm and incorporation of ¹⁵N to soil from atmospheric ¹⁵N₂ were significantly enhanced by the introduction of the earthworms into soil, though the observed increment of nitrogen in soil was much higher than the estimated one based on the nitrogen-fixing activity. The results obtained in the present study indicated that the earthworms increased the nitrogen content of soil, presumably due to the enhancement of the nitrogen-fixing activity of the soil from the microcosm by the earthworms.  相似文献   

Annual Element Budget of Soil in Snow-Dominated Forested Ecosystem     

M. Ozawa  H. Shibata  F. Satoh  K. Sasa 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2001,130(1-4):703-708

Seasonal fluctuation of concentration and flux of major inorganic ions in throughfall, stem flow, snowpack and soil solution was investigated at a natural cool temperature mixed forest in Hokkaido, northern Japan, in order to clarify the effect of snowmelt on the solute dynamics in the forest soil in snow-dominated region. Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Cl^? and SO₄ ^2? concentrations in soil solution showed a large fluctuation in the snowmelt period. The percentage of output of these elements from soil during the snowmelt period in the annual output was as follows. Mg²⁺: 51%, Na⁺ and Cl^?: 59 and 60%, SO₄ ^2?: 65%, Ca²⁺: 77%. Our results indicated that the snowmelt event was very important to quantify the annual elemental budgets in this region. Although the leaching of base cation from the soil was larger than that of inputs and accumulation into the vegetation, annual decreasing rate of acid neutralization capacity (ANC_(s)) from the soil was mostly affected by the base cation accumulation into the vegetation, related that the base cations weathering accompanied with bicarbonate was slow due to the acidic and weathered soil in the studied site. It is suggested that the weakly acidic soil which has low ANC_(s) in snow-dominated region will be relatively sensitive to the future increase of acidic deposition.  相似文献   

Detection and quantification of protein residues in food grade amino acids and nucleic acids using a dot-blot fluorescent staining method     

Yamada N  Ozawa S  Kageyama N  Miyano H 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2004,52(17):5329-5333

Food allergies represent an important health problem in industrialized countries, such that detection and quantitative analysis of the protein considered to be the main allergen is crucial. A dot-blot fluorescent staining method for the detection and quantitative analysis of protein residues in food grade amino acids and nucleic acids is presented. This method combines fluorescence staining with dot-blotting onto PVDF membrane. Several standard proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (66 kDa), lysozyme (14 kDa), ubiquitin (8.6 kDa), bovine insulin (5.7 kDa), and oxidized insulin B chain (3.5 kDa), were detectable at 0.1 ppm using SYPRO Ruby blot stain. Twenty-five different amino acids and two different nucleic acids of food grade were analyzed using this method combined with an internal standard addition method using BSA as an internal standard. All amino acids and nucleic acids were dissolved in 3.6% aqueous HCl and dot-blotted onto PVDF membrane before a large amount of amino acids and nucleic acid were removed. Protein residues and the internal standard protein immobilized on the membrane were stained using SYPRO ruby blot stain. The internal standard in all samples was detectable at 0.1 ppm. Samples were dissolved at 120 or 70 mg/mL, according to their solubility under acidic conditions. The detection limit of protein residues per weight was 0.8-1.4 ppm in amino acids and nucleic acids; residual protein was not detected in any sample.  相似文献   

Effects of heat stress on the redox status in the oviduct and early embryonic development in mice

This study examined the association between redox status in the oviduct and early embryonic death in heat-stressed mice. In Experiment 1, non-pregnant mice were heat-stressed at 35 C with 60% relative humidity for 12, 24, or 36 h, and the maternal redox status was verified by measuring the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) in the oviduct, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the liver. In Experiment 2, zygotes were collected from mice heat-stressed for 12 h on the day of pregnancy, and their developmental abilities were assessed in vitro, along with the intensity of DNA damage at the 2-cell stage. The TBARS value and GSH-Px activity in the liver, and ROS level in the oviduct were significantly higher in heat-stressed mice, and this increase appeared to depend on the duration of the heat stress. Maternal heat stress significantly reduced the percentage of zygotes that developed to the morula and blastocyst and the total cell number in the blastocyst. In addition, DNA damage at the 2-cell stage was significantly higher in maternally heat-stressed embryos. These results suggest that heat stress induces systemic changes in redox status in the maternal body, and the resultant increase in oxidative stress in the oviduct is possibly involved in heat stress-induced early embryonic death .  相似文献   

Serological Studies of African Horse-Sickness Virus with Emphasis on Neutralization Test in Tissue Culture          下载免费PDF全文

A. Hazrati  Y. Ozawa 《Canadian journal of veterinary research》1965,29(7):173-178

In place of mice, monkey kidney stable (MS) cell cultures were used successfully in serologic studies of African horse-sickness virus.

The maintenance medium containing 2% serum was chosen as the virus diluent. Maximum neutralization occurred after 1-hour incubation at 37 C., and maintained the same titer during an additional 4-hour incubation period. No significant difference was observed between neutralization titers titrated using the same antiserum mixed with two different passage levels of virus.

Rabbit and guinea pig antiserums prepared using virus grown in MS cell cultures had antibody titer as high as those prepared in the same manner using mouse brain suspension.

African horse-sickness virus strains isolated in Asia were serologically identified using a standard neutralization technique in tissue culture. All the strains were closely related to each other and all had antigenic similarity to Type 6 virus (strain 114).

In vitro and in vivo developmental ability of oocytes derived from porcine primordial follicles xenografted into nude mice     

Kikuchi K  Kaneko H  Nakai M  Noguchi J  Ozawa M  Ohnuma K  Kashiwazaki N 《The Journal of reproduction and development》2006,52(1):51-57

We evaluated the developmental ability of oocytes in porcine primordial follicles xenografted into nude mice. Ovarian tissues from 20-day-old piglets, in which most of the follicles were primordial, were transplanted under the kidney capsules of ovariectomized nude mice. Forty-nine to 89 days after grafting (mean +/- SEM, 66.9 +/- 1.9 days; n = 64), the host mice showed the presence of cornified epithelial cells in their vaginal smears for the first time. The mice were then treated with 4 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) 60 days after first detection of vaginal cornification. Oocytes were collected from the host mice 48 h after treatment with eCG, and then matured. The maturation rates, based on the incidence of first polar body, ranged from 25.1% to 42.5%. They were then fertilized in vitro and cultured in vitro for 6 days, or transferred into estrous-synchronized recipients and recovered after 6 days. On Day 6 of culture, 15.4% of the matured oocytes had cleaved to the 2- to 8-cell stage. However, neither the embryos cultured in vitro nor those transferred and recovered developed to advanced embryonic stages, such as morulae or blastocysts. This result suggests that the developmental ability of xenografted oocytes is insufficient, even after in vitro maturation. Further strategies, such as improvement of hormonal treatment for host mice, are required to enable oocytes in xenografted ovarian tissues to acquire the cytoplasmic maturation necessary for embryonic development.  相似文献   

Genetic diversity of Pinus densiflora pollen flowing over fragmented populations during a mating season     

Hajime Ozawa  Atsushi Watanabe  Kentaro Uchiyama  Yoko Saito  Yuji Ide 《Journal of Forest Research》2012,17(6):488-498

We attempted to evaluate the genetic diversity of long-distance transported pollen flowing over fragmented Pinus densiflora populations during a mating season. A P.?densiflora clonal seed orchard, which was located in a rural area where many fragmented populations exist, was selected for pollen capture. Immigrant pollen captured by three clones having different flowering times was regarded as the pollen flowing over fragmented populations during a mating season. The genetic diversity (H _e) values of the immigrant pollen captured by the three clones were high (H _e?>?0.894). The correlation of paternity (r _p) values of the seeds having immigrant parent generated from the three clones were calculated to be negative. From these parameters, the pollen cloud is considered to have maintained high genetic diversity during the mating season. The genetic composition of the pollen cloud showed slight variation. The pollen captured by different trees (i.e., clonal ramets of the three clones) was significantly different based on analysis of molecular variance. Especially, the pollen pools captured by trees planted in the western side of the orchard were significantly different from the gene pool of the surrounding populations. Factors affecting this differentiation could be that the donors of the pollen transported to the orchard vary with time, as well as nonuniform dispersal of the pollen. From these results, the pollen flowing over fragmented P.?densiflora populations is considered to have high genetic diversity, compensating to some extent for fragmentation.  相似文献
