Association between Bone Quality and Physical Activity in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Bone quality is an essential factor determining bone strength. However, the relationship between physical activity (PA) and bone quality remains unclear. This study aimed to ascertain the relationship between bone quality and PA using a cortical bone quantitative ultrasound device that measures components of bone quality.

Integrated gene-free potato genome editing using transient transcription activator-like effector nucleases and regeneration-promoting gene expression by infection.

Genome editing is highly useful for crop improvement. The method of expressing genome-editing enzymes using a transient expression system in , called agrobacterial mutagenesis, is a shortcut used in genome-editing technology to improve elite varieties of vegetatively propagated crops, including potato. However, with this method, edited individuals cannot be selected.

Accelerometer-measured physical activity and posture among older adults in assisted-living residences.

Objective: Few studies have detailed the physical activity and postural patterns (e.g. lying or sitting) in older adults with declining activities of daily living (ADL).

genome assembly of the partial homozygous dihaploid potato identified PVY resistance gene () derived from .

The isolation of disease resistance genes introduced from wild or related cultivated species is essential for understanding their mechanisms, spectrum and risk of breakdown. To identify target genes not included in reference genomes, genomic sequences with the target locus must be reconstructed. However, assembly approaches of the entire genome, such as those used for constructing reference genomes, are complicated in higher plants.
