Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:34.8(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:2 Percentile:21.22(Nuclear Science & Technology)We used the spent mushroom substrata (SMSs) which are a kind of by-product after growing edible mushrooms for the investigation of radioactive Cs mobility in litter zone in a forest of Fukushima prefecture, Japan. The powder SMS was filled in a plastic net bag of 0.350.55 m, then was placed in a forest for 6 months under three kinds of different conditions without treatment (No treatment), covered with wooden box (With box), and with zeolite placed on upper position of ground surface (With zeolite). We determined the ratio of radioactivity (TF) in the SMS to that of the soil and litter beneath the SMS bags. TFs of "No treatment" and of "With zeolite" were determined between 0.01 and 0.05 for 6 months. On the other hand, TFs of "With box" were lower by one order at 2 and 4 months than those of "No treatment" and of "With zeolite", and nearly the same values as TFs of "No treatment" and "With zeolite" at 6 months. These results clearly indicate that radioactive Cs accumulates in SMS mainly by throughfall. In addition, for a period of several months, fungi contribute to the accumulation of radioactive Cs in the litter zone, even though radioactive Cs was tightly associated with the soil.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:43.97(Chemistry, Analytical)The fate of radioactive Cs deposited after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident and its associated radiological impacts are largely dependent on its mobility from surface soils to forest ecosystems. We measured the accumulation of radioactive Cs in the fruit bodies of wild fungi in the forest at Iidate, Fukushima, Japan. The transfer factors (TFs) of radioactive Cs from soil to the fruit bodies of wild fungi were between 10 to 10, a range similar to those reported for the fruit bodies collected in Europe after the Chernobyl accident and in parts of Japan contaminated by nuclear bomb test fallout. Comparison of the TFs of the wild mushroom and that of the fungal hyphae of 704 stock strains grown on agar medium containing nutrients and radioactive Cs showed that the TFs of wild mushroom were lower. TF was less than 0.1 after addition of the minerals zeolite, vermiculite, phlogopite, smectite, or illite of 1% weight to the agar medium. These results indicate that the presence of minerals decrease Cs uptake by fungi grown in the agar medium.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:55.19(Geochemistry & Geophysics)In this work, the Cs retention onto two types of Mn oxide was investigated. We found that Todorokite has sorption sites with a higher selectivity for Cs than birnessite. When the initial Cs concentration was 10 mol/L for the sorption experiments, approximately 34% of the sorbed Cs was residual in the todorokite after the extraction using 1 M NaCl and NHCl; this value was much higher than the results for the Cs-sorbed birnessite. These results strongly suggest that todorokite contributes to the fixation of radioactive Cs in soils.

This paper reviews recent progress in the X-ray laser research in JAEA. In the source development, the polarization of the 13.9 nm laser has been investigated experimentally. The result indicates that the output beam is strongly polarized in the direction perpendicular to the target surface. In the alternative schemes toward the shorter wavelength region, intense higher-order harmonics with more than 300 eV has been observed from relativistic plasma generated with the laser intensity higher than 1E19 W/cm. Furthermore, theoretical investigations of resonantly photo-pumping scheme using intense K-alpha line and generation of -ray flash induced by radiation damping effect are also studied. In the application study, the surface dynamics of metal plate irradiated by an optical pulse observed by X-ray laser interferometer, surface deformation induced by a single-shot XRL exposure in which nano-scale conical structures are formed, will be reported.

Laser-driven X-ray sources are widely used in probing substances for new material development etc. Besides the laser-driven sources have potentials to downsizing and ultra-short duration, we carry out the coherent X-ray research, i.e., soft X-ray lasers and higher order harmonics generation (HHG) and their applications. In the source study, the first observation of X-ray mirage and HHG from relativistic plasma are presented. In the applications, we show the surface dynamics of fs laser ablation of metal observed by the X-ray interferometer. Finally we mention the prospects for the future: By the financial support from government, we started upgrade of J-KAREN laser toward PW level to realize keV coherent X-ray and high energy particle beams. By use of this high peak power laser and another high average power lasers, we will explore the possibility of ultra-short-duration short-wavelength lasers and open up new applications of high average power coherent X-rays.

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.
