In 2013 QoI-resistant strains of the rice blast fungus (MoO) emerged suddenly and spread in Hyogo Prefecture. To estimate factors associated with their spread and subsequent survival, the population structure of MoO strains was monitored from 2013 to 2017 and 2023 using DNA fingerprinting with Pot2 . Most of the QoI-resistant isolates collected in 2013 were classified into haplotype HY1, irrespective of areas of collection in...
Inhibiting body fat accumulation is important for the prevention of obesity. In Japan, three Kampo medicines are commonly used to treat obesity: bofutsushosan, boiogito, and daisaikoto. To compare the influences of these Kampo medicines on the intestinal microbiota, it is necessary to conduct a simultaneous investigation using the same mouse model under the same experimental conditions. C57BL/6J mice were divided into five gro...
Exploring cadmium-binding proteins in Japanese scallops Mizuhopecten yessoensis: isolation and characterizationNARA Subscribed
Scallops ( Mizuhopecten yessoensis ) accumulate abnormal levels of cadmium (Cd) in their bodies; however, the chemical form of Cd in vivo remains unclear. In this study, Cd concentrations in various scallop tissues were measured, revealing that Cd predominantly accumulated as a water-soluble component within the midgut gland. High-performance liquid chromatography combined with the post-column tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfoni...
Diversification of von Willebrand Factor A and Chitin-Binding Domains in Pif/BMSPs Among MollusksNARA Subscribed
Pif is a shell matrix protein (SMP) identified in the nacreous layer of Pinctada fucata (Pfu) comprised two proteins, Pif97 and Pif 80. Pif97 contains a von Willebrand factor A (VWA) and chitin-binding domains, whereas Pif80 can bind calcium carbonate crystals. The VWA domain is conserved in the SMPs of various mollusk species; however, their phylogenetic relationship remains obscure. Furthermore, although the VWA domain parti...
Ice age land bridges to continental islands: Repeated migration of the forest‐dwelling sable in northeastern AsiaNARA Subscribed
Aim The continental island system comprising Sakhalin, Hokkaido and the southern Kuril Islands (SHSK) in northeastern Asia serves as one of the southernmost habitats for many boreal and arctic organisms, with colonization via land bridges formed during glacial periods. To understand the impacts of past land‐bridge formation under Quaternary climate changes across SHSK, we investigated the demographic history of forest‐dwelling...
Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is an autosomal recessive multisystem neurologic disorder caused by biallelic intronic repeats in RFC1 . Although the phenotype of CANVAS has been expanding via diagnostic case accumulation, there are scant pedigree analyses to reveal disease penetrance, intergenerational fluctuations in repeat length, or clinical phenomena (including heterozygous carrie...
Late Quaternary Environmental and Human Impacts on the Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of Four Commensal Rodents in MyanmarNARA Subscribed
We addressed the spatiotemporal characteristics of four commensal rodent species occurring in Myanmar in comparison with other areas of the Indo-Malayan region. We examined sequence variations of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene ( Cytb ) in the Pacific rat ( Rattus exulans ), roof rat ( Rattus rattus complex, RrC), lesser bandicoot rat ( Bandicota bengalensis ), and house mouse ( Mus musculus ) using the recently developed...
