・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ Inside back cover The cover photographs are related to a study showing the role of the middle domain-specific WOX genes in leaf development of Arabidopsis thaliana (Nakata et al., Plant Cell, 2012). This study led a proposal that a new domain, named the middle domain, located between the adaxial and abaxial domains, has a distinct role from that of the previously identified two domains above: namely, the middle domain-specific WOX genes organize blade outgrowth together with adaxial and abaxial regulators and prevent the mixing of the adaxial and abaxial domains to maintain proper patterns during leaf development. See page 34 of this report for details. INTRODUCTION n order to understand the survival strategies of a I variety of organisms NIBB uses model organisms in collaboration with Japanese and international researchers to uncover both the basic mechanisms that are common to all living things, as well as the varied and unique systems organisms have evolved to allow them to adapt to their environments. It is necessary to continue to promote top- level research in this field, therefore it is important that we boldly pioneer new areas of study, and exert our energies to foster the young researchers who will lead us in the future. In addition, as an inter-university research institute it is essential that the National Institute for Basic Biology spares no effort in promoting cooperative use and collaborative research. In answer to the desires of the research community, NIBB has been strengthening our cooperative use and collaborative research structure by setting up the DSLM (Digital Scanned Light-sheet Microscope) cooperative research program, the next Generation DNA sequencer cooperative research program, and we have established the “NIBB BioResource Center” and the “NIBB Core Research Facilities”. In addition, in order to protect biological resources that are indispensable to the advancement of the biological sciences we have begun operating as the core facility of the Interuniversity Bio-Backup Project (IBBP), together with implementing plans in this fiscal year to begin joint-use research aimed at the development of new cryopreservation technology of biological resources. With the current climate of emphasis being placed on the practical application of research NIBB is expected to play a central role in promotion of the importance of the study of basic biology. To this end I believe it is necessary for NIBB to come together and strive to propel research, as well as expanding cooperative use and collaborative research with universities and institutes throughout the world. In 2012 we welcomed several new colleagues, including 4 assistant professors and 5 NIBB research fellows, while 2 colleagues transferred to other institutes. Finally I would like to congratulate Prof. Yoshinori Ohsumi for winning the Kyoto Prize, which is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious international awards for lifetime achievement in the arts and sciences, and Assistant Prof. Shinichi Miyagawa for winning the NINS young Researcher Award. I would also like to congratulate Dr. Kazuya Kuboyama, Dr. Michitaro Shibata, and Dr. Kenji Fukushima for receiving recognition for their research achievements as detailed on page 7. We always welcome any questions, comments and suggestions concerning research activities and administration of NIBB. Mikio Nishimura, D. Agric. Deputy Director General June 11, 2013 1 ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR BASIC BIOLOGY The National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB) was ■ Organization founded in 1977 on a hill overlooking the old town of Okazaki in Aichi prefecture as one of the Inter-University Research Institutes to promote and stimulate studies of 1DWLRQDO,QVWLWXWHVRI biology.

    LIMINALITY IN THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY Furui Y oshikichi on physical and mental illness, death, social ostracism, and workplace and ageing stress. (-:S«»-.;_~v ~) By Jennifer Scott BA(Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania February 2002 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of the Candidate's knowledge anq belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Jennifer Mary Scott Date \\' 0:)..02 ABSTRACT The liminal is a condition of human existence which has been the concern of Japanese literature throughout its history, since it is an essential ingredient in the experience of crisis. This thesis examines Furui's contribution to this literature of the liminal (my term) - his careful and detailed psycho-socio-analytical studies of the late twentieth century mind in the liminal state. The introductory chapter begins with a brief overview of Furui 's writing and its place in contemporary Japanese literature, especially the literature of the liminal. I go on to outline the general theoretical approaches of the thesis. I base my argument on Turner's socio-anthropological interpretation of the tripartite structure of rites of passage, and focus on his view of the liminal as a threshold period or state in which normal social structures and hierarchies are replaced by the relatively unstructured egalitarianism of community (communitas).

  • Endogenous Phospholipase A2 Inhibitors in Snakes: a Brief Overview
    Campos et al. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases (2016) 22:37 DOI 10.1186/s40409-016-0092-5 REVIEW Open Access Endogenous phospholipase A2 inhibitors in snakes: a brief overview Patrícia Cota Campos†, Lutiana Amaral de Melo†, Gabriel Latorre Fortes Dias and Consuelo Latorre Fortes-Dias* Abstract The blood plasma of numerous snake species naturally comprises endogenous phospholipase A2 inhibitors, which primarily neutralize toxic phospholipases A2 that may eventually reach their circulation. This inhibitor type is generally known as snake blood phospholipase A2 inhibitors (sbPLIs). Most, if not all sbPLIs are oligomeric glycosylated proteins, although the carbohydrate moiety may not be essential for PLA2 inhibition in every case. The presently known sbPLIs belong to one of three structural classes – namely sbαPLI, sbβPLI or sbγPLI – depending on the presence of characteristic C-type lectin-like domains, leucine-rich repeats or three-finger motifs, respectively. Currently, the most numerous inhibitors described in the literature are sbαPLIs and sbγPLIs, whereas sbβPLIs are rare. When the target PLA2 is a Lys49 homolog or an Asp49 myotoxin, the sbPLI is denominated a myotoxin inhibitor protein (MIP). In this brief overview, the most relevant data on sbPLIs will be presented. Representative examples of sbαPLIs and sbγPLIs from two Old World – Gloydius brevicaudus and Malayopython reticulatus – and two New World – Bothrops alternatus and Crotalus durissus terrificus – snake species will be emphasized.

  • Prey-Handling Behavior of Hatchling Elaphe Helena (Colubridae)
    Herpetologica, 59(4), 2003, 469–474 Ó 2003 by The Herpetologists’ League, Inc. PREY-HANDLING BEHAVIOR OF HATCHLING ELAPHE HELENA (COLUBRIDAE) 1,2 RITA S. MEHTA Department of Biology, University of Texas, Tyler, TX 75719, USA ABSTRACT: The effects of prey size on prey-handling behavior for 60 ingestively naive hatchling Elaphe helena were studied in the laboratory. Hatchlings were randomly assigned to one of three diet categories in which prey (Mus musculus) varied by relative mass differences of 20–35%, 40–46%, or 50–59% of an individual snake’s own body mass. The effects of prey size on capture position, direction of ingestion, condition of prey at ingestion (dead/alive), feeding duration, and prey-handling tactic were observed and recorded for each feeding episode. Results indicated that prey size significantly affected the prey-handling behavior of hatchling E. helena. In the largest relative mass category, hatchlings captured prey by the anterior end more often than in the smaller two relative mass categories. Prey from the smallest relative mass category were simply seized whereas, in the medium and large categories, pinion and constriction behaviors were observed. Time to subdue and ingest the prey item increased with prey size categories. Key words: Colubridae; Effects of prey size; Elaphe helena; Prey-handling behavior THE SIZE, type, and activity level of various (i.e., press prey against the substrate with the prey are thought to influence the feeding anterior portion of the body) and constrict behaviors for many advanced snakes (de small active mice than nestling rats.
