In recent years, the loss of understory vegetation such as dwarf bamboo (Sasa spp.) has become more serious due to overgrazing by Sika deer, which is rapidly increasing in population. Degradation of [...]

星は分子雲コアと呼ばれるガスの塊が収縮することで形成される。収縮していくと中心に星のもとに相当する原始星とその周囲に原始惑星系円盤(以後、円盤)が形成される。この円盤は惑星形成の舞台である。原始惑星系円盤内の角運動量輸送に物理機構として磁場による機構が有力視されており、円盤内の磁場の分布は重要である。磁場を取り入れた１次元のガス降着段階の円盤進化モデルを考え、円盤形成時を初期条件とする円盤の長時間 [...]

The apple fruit borer Spilonota samseong (Tortricidae), a pest of apples, has two closely related species (S. albicana and S. prognathana) that do not feed on apples. They closely resemble each other [...]

液性免疫応答は生体防御のメカニズムとして重要である。液性免疫の主役を担うのはB細胞であり、B細胞の小胞体恒常性維持がB細胞分化と抗体産生に密接に関与する。小胞体はタンパク質の品質管理と細胞質内Ca2+濃度の調節が主な機能として知られており、これら2つの機能を制御することが小胞体恒常性に重要である。そこで、この2つの機能調節に重要な分子に着目し、B細胞における機能解析を行う。これにより、液性免疫にお [...]

Aspergillus oryzae is a useful filamentous fungus used in the fermentation and brewing industry. Since it secretes and produces a large amount of various useful substances such as useful enzymes like [...]

Atomic nuclei, which are many-body systems composed of protons and neutrons, possess a shell structure similar to that of electrons in atoms. In fact, nuclei with specific numbers of protons or neutro [...]

Proposal for Water Storage Management to Maximize the Flood Control, Water Utilization, and Power Generation Benefits of Pumped Storage Hydropower in Irrigation Pond

Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences

Irrigation ponds, which number approximately 150,000 nationwide, are facing maintenance challenges due to the aging of farmers who manage them, as well as the need for flood control measures due to th [...]

Aiming to develop for new genome editing tools, functional and structural studies of a novel Cas9 identified from hot spring

Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences

CRISPR-Cas9 is prokaryotic adaptive immune system against invading foreign DNAs and is applied to genome editing tools. Cas9 is an RNA-guided endonuclease and binds a guide RNA composed of CRISPR-RNA [...]
