Cultivation methodEarlyIn 1995, Chiba Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station bred a new paddy rice cultivar "Fusaotome" which is tolerant to cool weather, early maturing (same as "Hananomai"), and has high grain-quality and excellent flavor with heavy grain h eight (exceed "Hananomai" by ...
In Japanese, the word "Jomon" means "cord-marking", referring to the common decoration method used these ancient pots. The Jomon culture was a hunter-gatherer culture, until around 2,500 BCE, where we see evidence of rice-cultivation. The invention of pottery was an important landmark for ...
In 1995, the Department of Agriculture (DOA) certified two Japanese rice varieties as DOA 1 (from Sasanishiki strain) and DOA 2 (from Akitakomachi strain), and recommended them for extension and cultivation [29]. Nowadays, the CRI has collected 58 varieties of Japonica rice, which can be ...
(CPE) method in rats and shown to attenuate the induced swelling[13]. Similarly,cis-communic acid also demonstrated potent inhibitory effect on histamine-induced contraction in ileum isolated from guinea pig[132]. These results suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect ofC. japonicaextract was ...
Compared to genetic studies using a small number of markers, high-throughput sequencing can generate many single nucleotide variants (SNVs) that are suitable for analysing intraspecific differences24,25. Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq)26 is a high-throughput sequencing method. ...
Courtesy of U.B. Balasuriya, University of Kentucky. In enzootic regions, pigs, frogs, and waterbirds (eg, egrets and herons) increase the risk of transmission to humans and equines, especially in agricultural settings such as those with intensive cultivation of rice. The mosquito–swine and ...
In June 2000, Japan began to implement the "large-scale retail location method" (large-scaleretailstorelocationlaw). Although most of the restrictive provisions on large retail stores were cancelled, shopping centres were standardized in terms of traffic congestion, traffic safety, parking, noise, ...
Due to increasing scarcity of freshwater resources that are available for irrigated agriculture in the future it will be necessary to produce more food with less water. More irrigated land is devoted to rice than to any other crop. One method to save water in irrigated rice cultivation is the...
To enhance the durability of these repairs, they would often incorporate sashiko sewing, a traditional Japanese stitching method that added strength to the fabric. The boro technique was not limited to futon covers but was also applied to noragi, the clothing worn by farmers. By employing this ...
This bacterium is easily grown, sporulates well under laboratory conditions, and uses a variety of carbohydrates as carbon and energy sources. Bt cells can grow within a range of 10–45°C at an optimum pH of 5.7 and can tolerate 7% NaCl. The most convenient method of isolation is “...
