Project description:Diet composition of sika deer in forests with different establishment years in northern Japan revealed by DNA metabarcoding analysis
Project description:Plant-activator is known as a chemical inducer to activate disease resistances in plants without direct antibacterial activities. To identify plant-activator responsive genes, we analyzed temporal expression changes of the genes when treated with some plant-activators (e.g., isotianil and probenazole) in Japonica rice cv. Nipponbare in a field at Tsukuba in Japan.
Project description:Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is an allogamous coniferous species that relies on wind-mediated pollen and seed dispersal, and it is one of the most important forestry tree species in Japan. For accelerating breeding, we collected massive SNPs based on ESTs from several organs using NGS, and thus carried out QTL, GWAS and GS based on high-density linkage maps.
