Abstract
Climate change due to global warming is now affecting agricultural production worldwide. In rice, one of the most important crops, water limitation due to irregular rainfall in rainfed lowlands during crop growth limits yield. Dry direct-sowing has been proposed as a water-efficient approach to cope with water stress during rice growth, but poor seedling establishment due to drought during germination and emergence is a problem. Here, we germinated indica rice cultivars Rc348 (drought tolerant) and Rc10 (drought sensitive) under osmotic stress induced by PEG to elucidate mechanisms of germination under drought. Rc348 had higher germination rate and germination index under severe osmotic stress of -1.5 MPa, above those of Rc10. Rc348 showed up-regulated GA biosynthesis, down-regulated ABA catabolism, and up-regulated α-amylase gene expression in imbibed seeds under PEG treatment compared to that of Rc10. During germination, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in antagonism between gibberellic acid (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA). Embryo of Rc348 treated with PEG had significantly greater expression of NADPH oxidase genes and higher endogenous ROS levels, together with significantly increased endogenous GA1, GA4 and ABA contents compared to that of Rc10. In aleurone layers treated with exogenous GA, expression of α-amylase genes was higher in Rc348 than in Rc10, and expression of NADPH oxidase genes was enhanced with significantly higher ROS content in Rc348, suggesting higher sensitivity of GA to ROS production and starch degradation in aleurone cells of Rc348. These results suggest that the osmotic stress tolerance of Rc348 is due to enhancement of ROS production, GA biosynthesis, and GA sensitivity, resulting in a higher germination rate under osmotic stress.

Abstract
Alterations in DNA methylation levels of ROS, GA and ABA related gene promoters cause transcriptional changes upon imbibition to induce seed germination in barley seeds exposed to heat stress during grain filling. Environmental changes, especially changes in temperature, during seed development affect germination in several plant species. We have previously shown that heat stress during rice grain filling alters DNA methylation, an epigenetic mark important for gene silencing, regulates transcript levels of phytohormone metabolism genes, and delays seed germination. However, whether this phenomenon is present in other plant species remained to be elucidated. In this study, we compared seeds germination of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants grown at 15 °C (control) or 25 °C (heat stress) during grain filling. Heat stress during grain filling significantly promoted seed germination in comparison with the control. The phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA) and reactive oxygen species produced by NADPH oxidases promote seed germination, whereas phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) suppresses seed germination. We found that in heat-stressed seeds, genes related to ABA biosynthesis (HvNCED1 and 2) were significantly suppressed, whereas genes related to ABA catabolism (HvABA8'OH) and GA biosynthesis (HvHA20ox, HvGA3ox), and NADPH oxidase (HvRboh) genes were significantly upregulated after imbibition. Using MeDIP-qPCR, we showed that the promoters of HvNCED were hyper-methylated, and those of HvABA8'OH1, HvABA8'OH3, HvGA3ox2, and HvRbohF2 were hypo-methylated in heat treated seeds. Taken together, our data suggest that heat stress during grain filling affects DNA methylation of germination-related genes and promotes seed germination in barley.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) deficiency is one of the most common problems in soils, limiting crop growth and production. However, the effects of N limitation in seedlings on vegetative growth remain poorly understood. Here, we show that N limitation in rice seedlings restricted vegetative growth but not yield. Aboveground parts were affected mainly during the period of tillering, but belowground parts were sensitive throughout vegetative growth, especially during panicle development. At the tillering stage, N-limited plants had a significantly lower N content in shoots, but not in roots. On the other hand, N content in roots during the panicle development stage was significantly lower in N-limited plants. This distinct response was driven by significant changes in expression of N transporter genes during growth. Under N limitation, N translocation from roots to shoots was greatly sped up by systemic expression of N transporter genes to obtain balanced growth. N limitation during the seedling stage did not reduce any yield components. We conclude that the N condition during the seedling stage affects physiological responses such as N translocation through the expression of N transporter genes.

Abstract
Pod setting rate in soybean is an important trait that determines pod number, which is highly correlated with seed yield. Using two soybean cultivars with different pod setting rates, we examined the relationship between plant growth regulation by gibberellin (GA) and pod setting rate. Plant growth rate (PGR) after flowering was significantly higher in 'Fukuyutaka' (low pod setting rate) than in 'Kariyutaka' (high pod setting rate); this difference was caused by increasing of GA biosynthesis-related genes expression. Additionally, pod setting rate in 'Fukuyutaka' was lower than that in 'Kariyutaka'. Furthermore, when 'Kariyutaka' was treated with GA after flowering, the PGR increased and pod setting rate decreased. These results suggest that pod setting rate in soybean is regulated by vegetative growth after flowering through GA biosynthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High water use efficiency is essential to water-saving cropping. Morphological traits that affect photosynthetic water use efficiency are not well known. We examined whether leaf hairiness improves photosynthetic water use efficiency in rice. RESULTS A chromosome segment introgression line (IL-hairy) of wild Oryza nivara (Acc. IRGC105715) with the genetic background of Oryza sativa cultivar 'IR24' had high leaf pubescence (hair). The leaf hairs developed along small vascular bundles. Linkage analysis in BC5F2 and F3 populations showed that the trait was governed by a single gene, designated BLANKET LEAF (BKL), on chromosome 6. IL-hairy plants had a warmer leaf surface in sunlight, probably due to increased boundary layer resistance. They had a lower transpiration rate under moderate and high light intensities, resulting in higher photosynthetic water use efficiency. CONCLUSION Introgression of BKL on chromosome 6 from O. nivara improved photosynthetic water use efficiency in the genetic background of IR24.

Abstract
Soybean pods are located at the nodes, where they are in the shadow, whereas cowpea pods are located outside of the leaves and are exposed to sunlight. To compare the effects of light quality on pod growth in soybean and cowpea, we measured the length of pods treated with white, blue, red or far-red light. In both species, pods elongated faster during the dark period than during the light period in all light treatments except red light treatment in cowpea. Red light significantly suppressed pod elongation in soybean during the dark and light periods. On the other hand, the elongation of cowpea pods treated with red light markedly promoted during the light period. These results suggested that the difference in the pod set sites between soybean and cowpea might account for the difference in their red light responses for pod growth.

Abstract
Rice is believed to show photosynthetic symmetry between adaxial and abaxial leaf sides. To verify this, we re-examined dorsoventral asymmetry in photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and anatomical traits in flag leaves of two Oryza sativa cultivars that differ in nitrogen (N) response and in leaf angle: 'Akenohoshi', a cultivar that can adapt to low-N (LN), with low leaf angle (more erect leaves), and 'Shirobeniya', a cultivar that is unable to adapt to LN, with higher leaf angle. Plants were grown under standard-N (SN) and LN conditions. LN leaves of both cultivars became more erect than SN, but LN Akenohoshi still had more erect ones than Shirobeniya. Contrary to results of previous studies, leaves of both cultivars showed an asymmetry in photosynthetic rate between adaxial and abaxial sides (higher on the adaxial side) under SN. SN leaves of both cultivars showed lower susceptibility to photoinhibition on the adaxial side than on the abaxial side. However, leaves of Akenohoshi showed less asymmetry in these traits under LN than under SN, whereas leaves of Shirobeniya had similar degrees of asymmetry in these traits under both SN and LN. Both cultivars also showed dorsoventral asymmetry in anatomical traits of mesophyll tissue regardless of N level, but the degree of asymmetry was lower in LN Akenohoshi. These data reveal that rice leaves exhibit dorsoventral asymmetry in photosynthetic and anatomical features, and that the degree of asymmetry varies with cultivar and N level. It is suggested that lower leaf angles (particularly in Akenohoshi) in the presence of LN represent a light acclimation to prevent photoinhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Rice (Oryza sativa) plants lose significant amounts of volatile NH(3) from their leaves, but it has not been shown that this is a consequence of photorespiration. Involvement of photorespiration in NH(3) emission and the role of glutamine synthetase (GS) on NH(3) recycling were investigated using two rice cultivars with different GS activities. METHODS NH(3) emission (AER), and gross photosynthesis (P(G)), transpiration (Tr) and stomatal conductance (g(S)) were measured on leaves of 'Akenohoshi', a cultivar with high GS activity, and 'Kasalath', a cultivar with low GS activity, under different light intensities (200, 500 and 1000 µmol m(-2) s(-1)), leaf temperatures (27·5, 32·5 and 37·5 °C) and atmospheric O(2) concentrations ([O(2)]: 2, 21 and 40 %, corresponding to 20, 210 and 400 mmol mol(-1)). KEY RESULTS An increase in [O(2)] increased AER in the two cultivars, accompanied by a decrease in P(G) due to enhanced photorespiration, but did not greatly influence Tr and g(S). There were significant positive correlations between AER and photorespiration in both cultivars. Increasing light intensity increased AER, P(G), Tr and g(S) in both cultivars, whereas increasing leaf temperature increased AER and Tr but slightly decreased P(G) and g(S). 'Kasalath' (low GS activity) showed higher AER than 'Akenohoshi' (high GS activity) at high light intensity, leaf temperature and [O(2)]. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that photorespiration is strongly involved in NH(3) emission by rice leaves and suggest that differences in AER between cultivars result from their different GS activities, which would result in different capacities for reassimilation of photorespiratory NH(3). The results also suggest that NH(3) emission in rice leaves is not directly controlled by transpiration and stomatal conductance.

Abstract
We determined the contribution of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms to the metabolism of midazolam by kinetic analysis of human liver microsomes and CYP isoforms and by examining the effect of chemical inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies against CYP isoforms in vitro. Midazolam was metabolized to 1'-hydroxymidazolam (1'-OH MDZ) by human liver microsomes with a Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of 4.1 (1.0) (mean (SD)) micromol litre(-1) and a maximum rate of metabolism (Vmax) of 5.5 (1.1) nmol min(-1) mg protein(-1) (n = 6). Of the nine representative human liver CYP isoforms, CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4 and 3A5, three (CYP2B6, 3A4 and 3A5) showed midazolam 1'-hydroxylation activity, with Kms of 40.7, 1.7 and 3.0 micromol litre(-1), respectively, and Vmax values of 12.0, 3.3 and 13.2 nmol min(-1) nmol P450(-1), respectively (n = 4). Midazolam 1'-hydroxylation activity of human liver microsomes correlated significantly with testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation activity, a marker of CYP3A activity (r2 = 0.77, P = 0.0001), but not with S-mephenytoin N-demethylation activity, a marker of CYP2B6 activity (r2 < 0.01, P = 0.84) (n = 11). Troleandomycin and orphenadrine, chemical inhibitors of CYP isoforms, inhibited the formation of 1'-OH MDZ by human liver microsomes. Monoclonal antibody against CYP3A4 inhibited the formation of 1'-OH MDZ by 79%, whereas monoclonal antibody against CYP2B6 had no effect on midazolam 1'-hydroxylation by human liver microsomes (n = 5). These results indicate that only CYP3A4, but not CYP2B6 or CYP2C, is involved in the metabolism of midazolam in vitro.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms involved in the oxidation of propofol by human liver microsomes. METHODS The rate constant calculated from the disappearance of propofol in an incubation mixture with human liver microsomes and recombinant human CYP isoforms was used as a measure of the rate of metabolism of propofol. The correlation of these rate constants with rates of metabolism of CYP isoform-selective substrates by liver microsomes, the effect of CYP isoform-selective chemical inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies on propofol metabolism by liver microsomes, and its metabolism by recombinant human CYP isoforms were examined. RESULTS The mean rate constant of propofol metabolism by liver microsomes obtained from six individuals was 4.2 (95% confidence intervals 2.7, 5.7) nmol min(-1) mg(-1) protein. The rate constants of propofol by microsomes were significantly correlated with S-mephenytoin N-demethylation, a marker of CYP2B6 (r = 0.93, P < 0.0001), but not with the metabolic activities of other CYP isoform-selective substrates. Of the chemical inhibitors of CYP isoforms tested, orphenadrine, a CYP2B6 inhibitor, reduced the rate constant of propofol by liver microsomes by 38% (P < 0.05), while other CYP isoform-selective inhibitors had no effects. Of the recombinant CYP isoforms screened, CYP2B6 produced the highest rate constant for propofol metabolism (197 nmol min-1 nmol P450-1). An antibody against CYP2B6 inhibited the disappearance of propofol in liver microsomes by 74%. Antibodies raised against other CYP isoforms had no effect on the metabolism of propofol. CONCLUSIONS CYP2B6 is predominantly involved in the oxidation of propofol by human liver microsomes.

Abstract
Samples of feces and vomit collected from patients during 13 non-bacterial gastroenteritis outbreaks which occurred in Hokkaido between 1995 and 1998 were examined by electron microscopy (EM) and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for evidence of infection with human caliciviruses (HuCVs). In 6 food-borne outbreaks, oysters were the probable source of infection, while the origin of HuCVs was not found out for the other 7 outbreaks. One-hundred-eleven of 214 stool, vomit and oyster specimens examined gave positive results by RT-PCR, while HuCVs were detected by EM in 36 of 121 stool specimens examined. We determined the nucleotide sequences of 470-bp or 373-bp PCR products amplified from the RNA polymerase region of the HuCV genomes with primer sets MR3/4 and Yuri22F/R, respectively. The sequences of different strains revealed great heterogenicity, with a range of 60 to 100% homology among strains. In a few cases, a mixed genotype was found in the same patient or same outbreak by means of nested PCR and cloning of PCR products into an appropriate vector. Of the 19 different strains found, 4 strains could be classified as Norwalk virus (genogroup 1) and the other 15 strains as Snow Mountain agent (genogroup 2) based on genotyping with homology analysis. Furthermore, the strains belonging to genogroup 2 could be classified into 4 subgroups with more than 93% homology in amino acids among strains in the subgroup.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of propofol on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam in vivo and to elucidate the mechanism of the pharmacokinetic changes of midazolam by propofol with the use of human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP3A4. METHODS In an in vivo, double-blind randomized study, 24 patients received 0.2 mg/kg midazolam and either 2 mg/kg propofol (propofol group) or placebo (placebo group) for induction of anesthesia. In the propofol group, continuous infusion of propofol at 9 mg/kg/h was started immediately after the bolus infusion of propofol and was maintained for an hour. In the placebo group the same dose of soybean emulsion as a placebo was given and infused intravenously for an hour instead of propofol. In an in vitro study the effect of propofol on the metabolism of midazolam was studied with human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP3A4. RESULTS In the propofol group the mean clearance of midazolam was decreased by 37% (P = .005) and the mean elimination half-life was prolonged by 61% (P = .04) compared with the placebo group. The mean plasma concentrations of 1'-hydroxymidazolam were lower in the propofol group than in the placebo group at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes after midazolam was administered (P < .05). The mean (+/-SD) Michaelis-Menten constant for midazolam 1'-hydroxylation by human liver microsomes was 5.6 +/- 3.3 micromol/L. The formation of 1'-hydroxymidazolam was competitively inhibited by propofol, and the mean inhibition constant was 56.7 +/- 16.6 micromol/L. The mean Michaelis-Menten constant and mean inhibition constant values for midazolam 1'-hydroxylation by recombinant CYP3A4 were 4.0 micromol/L and 61.0 micromol/L, respectively, consistent with the mean values obtained from human liver microsomes. CONCLUSION Propofol decreases the clearance of midazolam, and the possible mechanism is the competitive inhibition of hepatic CYP3A4.

Abstract
Fentanyl decreases clearance of midazolam administered i.v., but the mechanism remains unclear. To elucidate this mechanism, we have investigated the effect of fentanyl on metabolism of midazolam using human hepatic microsomes and recombinant cytochrome P450 isoforms (n = 6). Midazolam was metabolized to l'-hydroxymidazolam (l'-OH MDZ) by human hepatic microsomes, with a Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) of 5.0 (SD 2.7) mumol litre-1. Fentanyl competitively inhibited metabolism of midazolam in human hepatic microsomes, with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 26.8 (12.4) mumol litre-1. Of the seven representative human hepatic P450 isoforms, CYP1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 3A4, only CYP3A4 catalysed hydroxylation of midazolam, with a K(m) of 3.6 (0.8) mumol liter-1. Fentanyl competitively inhibited metabolism of midazolam to l'-OH MDZ by CYP3A4, with a Ki of 24.2 (6.8) mumol litre-1, comparable with the Ki obtained in human hepatic microsomes. These findings indicate that fentanyl competitively inhibits metabolism of midazolam by CYP3A4.
