Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：18.86(Plant Sciences)Genetic diversity in the rate of Fe uptake by plants has not been broadly surveyed among plant species or genotypes, although plants have developed various Fe acquisition mechanisms. We adopted the "Live-autoradiography" technique with radioactive 
Fe to directly evaluate the uptake rate of Fe by barley cultivars from a nutrient solution containing a very low concentration of Fe. Our observations revealed that the ability to acquire Fe from the low Fe solution was not always the sole determinant of tolerance to Fe deficiency among the barley genotypes.

Times Cited Count：184 Percentile：97.12(Physics, Multidisciplinary)An isotope of the 113th element, 113, was produced in a nuclear reaction with a 
Zn beam on a 
Bi target. We observed six consecutive 
decays following the implantation of a heavy particle in nearly the same position in the semiconductor detector, in extremely low background condition. The fifth and sixth decays are fully consistent with the sequential decays of 
Db and 
Lr both in decay energies and decay times. This indicates that the present decay chain consisted of 113, 
Rg (Z = 111), 
Mt (Z = 109), 
Bh (Z = 107), Db (Z = 105), and Lr (Z = 103) with firm connections. This result, together with previously reported results from 2004 and 2007, conclusively leads the unambiguous production and identification of the isotope 113, of the 113th element.

Expression of genes involved in the Sulfur mobilization (SUF) machinery which assembles and inserts Fe-S clusters into client proteins in chloroplast is downregulated by depletion of Fe as a substrate. The pattern and timing of their downregulation are different among barley cultivars, and that difference seems to be related to the maintenance of Photosystem I under Fe-deficient condition. These characters of barley cultivars are, however, not always correlated with overall tolerance to Fe deficiency nor total Fe concentration of leaves. Thus, we investigated the relationship between Fe influx into new leaf and downregulation of SUF machinery in Fe-deficient barley.

The decay property of Cn (atomic number, 
) produced in the Pb(Zn, 
) reaction was studied. The experiment was performed using the gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at the RIKEN liner accelerator facility (RILAC). The Pb target with about 630 
g/cm
thickness was bombarded with 347.5, 351.5, and 355.5 MeV Zn beam. At the beam energy of 351.5 MeV, we observed one -decay chain from Cn. The -particle energy of Cn was 
MeV and its lifetime was measured to be 0.370 ms. Including our previous result of the Cn production in 2004, the cross section of the Pb(Zn, ) reaction is deduced to be 
pb.
