Using transposon-mediated gene-trap mutagenesis, we have generated a novel mouse mutant termed Blad (Bloated Bladder).Homozygous mutant mice die perinatally showing a greatly distended bladder, underdeveloped diaphragm and a reduction in total skeletal muscle mass.Wild type and heterozygote mice appear normal.Using PCR, we identified a transposon i
The steering feel is an important technical problem for handling and drivability of driver-vehicle system and various kinds of studies have been conducted.The objective evaluation is a key factor to construct model base design process for the steering feel.Many kinds of objective evaluation criteria for the steering feel have been proposed using st
Orchids have evolved flowers with unique morphologies through coevolution with pollinators, such as insects.Among the floral organs, the lip (labellum), one of the three petals, exhibits a distinctive shape att nighthawk hotspot and plays a crucial role in attracting pollinators and facilitating pollination in many orchids.The lip of the terrestria
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) have recently been attracting the attention of plant biologists as a prospective tool for modulation of photosynthesis whole wheat phyllo dough in higher plants.However, the exact mode of action of SWCNT on the photosynthetic electron transport chain remains unknown.In this work, we examined the effect of foli
