Digital PCR (dPCR) is a technique for absolute quantification of nucleic acid molecules. To develop a dPCR technique that enables more accurate nucleic acid detection and quantification, we established a novel dPCR apparatus known as centrifugal force real-time dPCR (crdPCR). This system is efficient than other systems with only 2.

Article Synopsis
  • All members of R. glutinosa exhibit a unique ability to tolerate paraquat (PQ), likely due to their superior antioxidant enzyme systems compared to PQ-susceptible soybeans.
  • Key antioxidant enzymes like ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), non-specific peroxidase (POX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are significantly more active in R. glutinosa than in soybeans, especially after PQ exposure.
  • Despite lower levels of SOD in R. glutinosa, the plant shows enhanced antioxidant activity under oxidative stress, pointing to potential alternative mechanisms for PQ tolerance beyond just antioxidant enzyme activity.
