title: Undersea Productions: Undersea Productions (old)

description: We are on a lifelong mission to film and photograph as many species of the world__s marine life as we can. We focus primarily on fish species but do also film marine invertebrates, marine mammals, marine reptiles and occasionally land animals as well. Our catalog is primarily filmed in the tropical Indo-Pacific so far, although we have also filmed in the Caribbean, Galapagos and temperate waters of the East Australian coast, we add more species every month as we continue exploring the temperate waters of Australia and other special places around the world. https://www.pond5.com/artist/underseaproductions#1/2063

title: Effects of nutrient conditions to stem photosynthesis and growth in <i>Ephedra intermedia</i> (Ephedraceae)

description: <i>Ephedra intermedia</i> Schrenk et C.A.Meyer (Ephedraceae, Gnetales, Gymnospermae) contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, and has been used as Ephedra herb, a traditional medicine. Instead of degenerated leaves, photosynthetic assimilation is performed in their stems. Recently domestic cultivation of this species has been required, but relevant nutrient conditions for cultivation remain uncertain. In this study, we examined stem photosynthetic parameters in <i>E. intermedia</i> plants grown under different nutrient conditions in order to clarify relationships between the photosynthetic parameters and growth in their stems. Also, we examined whether the regulation of two photosystems of the photosynthetic electron transport system in <i>E. intermedia</i> stems is similar to that of angiosperm leaves. We cultivated <i>E. intermedia</i> plants under various nutrient conditions with different levels of nitrogen (N), and regularly measured CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation rates, parameters of the photosynthetic electron transport system, and growth of <i>E. intermedia</i> stems. The stem growth was better under the condition with the additional ordinary chemical fertilizer compared to those with urea or magnesium lime. The seasonal changes were observed in the CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation rates, Y(II), the quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII), and Y(ND), the non-photochemical yield due to donor side limitations in photosystem I (PSI). However, these parameters differed between nutrient conditions to small extents, and were not related to stem growth. Therefore, the measured parameters of photosynthesis could not explain the difference in stem growth between nutrient conditions. Although the photosynthetic parameters seasonally changed, the tight relationships between Y(ND), the PSI parameter, and Y(II) or Y(NPQ), the PSII parameters, were found throughout the seasons. These relationships between two photosystems in stems of gymnosperm <i>E. intermedia</i> were as the same as those in angiosperm leaves, although a flavodiiron protein can function as the electron sink in the stems of <i>E. intermedia</i>. This balance between two photosystems may be regulated by the system dependent on the thylakoid lumen pH, which may lead to the protection of two photosystems throughout the seasons.

title: Soil silicon availability and silicon uptake by winter wheat in Tokachi district, Hokkaido

description: Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in soils and is a beneficial element for plant growth, particularly for gramineous plants such as rice, corn, and wheat. In Japan, soil Si availability and its relationship with Si in plants have been mainly focused on paddy soils and rice. Although Si has also been reported to benefit wheat production via enhanced phosphorous uptake and resistance to diseases, there is little study on Si availability in agricultural soils related to wheat production in Japan. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess the soil available Si and its relation to other soil properties in upland fields, (2) evaluate Si concentration and its distribution in winter wheat, (3) clarify the relationship between the soil available Si and the Si concentration in wheat, and (4) identify suitable methods to determine available Si for agricultural soils. Surface soil and wheat samples were collected from 40 growers’ field along four different river terraces including lowland, low terrace, middle terrace, and high terrace of the Tokachi district in 2020 and 2021. Soil available Si was evaluated by three methods using acetate buffer and phosphate buffer solution. The soil available Si contents in agricultural soils varied from field to field considerably, and were remarkably larger in the fields located on the middle and high terraces compared to the lowland and the low terrace, suggesting the effects of soil parent materials and pedogenic factors, particularly volcanic ashes and amorphous clay minerals. The mean Si uptake by winter wheat was 13.4 g m<sup>−2</sup> and comparable to N and K uptake and greater than P. Winter wheat mainly stores Si in culms, leaves and husks, and the highest mean concentration of Si in above-ground part of winter wheat was 27.6 g kg<sup>−1</sup> in husks. The high Si concentration in the husk may be related to enhancing plant physical protection to preharvest sprouting and fungal diseases. Among three methods, the acetate buffer solution method could be the most promising method to determine soil Si availability in agricultural soils of the studied area.

title: Alteration of aluminum tolerance mediated by insertion of same transposable element at different sites in the upstream region of <i>HvAACT1</i> in Japanese barley accessions

description: Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for crop production in acid soils. Barley is highly sensitive to Al, so the genetic improvement of its Al tolerance is required. However, useful breeding materials and genetic factors for improving its tolerance are remain largely unclear. Here, we compared the Al tolerance of ‘Minorimugi’ and ‘Fibersnow,’ both six-rowed hulled barley cultivars grown mainly in northern Japan, using relative root length (RRL) as an index, and found that Minorimugi had higher tolerance. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the two cultivars detected a major QTL at the <i>HvAACT1</i> (<i>Al-ACTIVATED CITRATE TRANSPORTER 1</i>) locus that explained approximately 36% of the variance. The PCR amplification analysis revealed a 1-kb transposable element (TE) insertion at −1.9 kb in the upstream region of <i>HvAACT1</i> in Minorimugi that enhances <i>HvAACT1</i> expression. The TE has the same nucleotide sequence as one previously found at −4.8 kb in the upstream region of <i>HvAACT1</i> in ‘Murasakimochi,’ which is an Al tolerant cultivar. In the Japanese barley population, the Murasakimochi-type <i>HvAACT1</i> upstream allele is shared mainly among barley accessions developed in the Shikoku area, while the Minorimugi-type allele is shared mainly among accessions developed in the Hokuriku and Nagano area. This geographic difference indicates that both alleles are shared among different subpopulations in Japanese barley, which may be advantageous for growth in acid soils. Our results provide information about a new allele of the <i>HvAACT1</i> upstream region and potential breeding materials for improving the Al tolerance of barley.

title: Genetic and transcriptomic dissection of nitrate-independent function of Arabidopsis NRT1.1/NPF6.3/CHL1 under high ammonium condition

description: The Arabidopsis nitrate transceptor NRT1.1/NPF6.3/CHL1 regulates physiological responses to nitrate. Several studies have reported that Arabidopsis plants lacking NRT1.1 show enhanced shoot growth under toxic levels of ammonium without nitrate, suggesting a nitrate-independent function for NRT1.1. To further investigate this nitrate-independent function and its impact on ammonium tolerance, we conducted genetic analysis, tissue-specific expression analysis, and transcriptome analysis using various NRT1.1-related lines. Transgenic plants expressing either nonphosphomimic or phosphomimic mutants of NRT1.1 exhibited similar ammonium tolerance to the wild-type. The <i>chl1–9</i> mutant, in which NRT1.1 with the P492L substitution is localized intracellularly rather than at the plasma membrane and fails to transport nitrate, showed significantly improved ammonium tolerance. Confocal imaging revealed that the NRT1.1-GFP signal was detected in the plasma membrane of various tissues, including cotyledon pavement cells, hypocotyl epidermal cells, mesophyll cells, root cap cells, and epidermal cells near root tips. In early seedlings, the absence of functional NRT1.1 altered the expression of genes associated with aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis, ethylene signaling, and low pH stress. Genes predicted to encode products localized to the extracellular space were enriched among those differentially expressed due to <i>NRT1.1</i> deficiency. Our data suggest that in the absence of nitrate, plasma membrane-targeted NRT1.1 reduces ammonium tolerance irrespective of its phosphorylation state with alterations of gene expression associated with stress and senescence.
