The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the disproportionately
large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon sequestration. The role …

Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels control influxes of Ca 2+ and other
cations that induce diverse cellular processes upon stimulation of plasma membrane …

We generated mice deficient in Lon protease (LONP1), a major enzyme of the mitochondrial
quality control machinery. Homozygous deletion of Lonp1 causes early embryonic lethality, …

Solid-state approaches to quantum information technology are attractive because they are
scalable. The coherent transport of quantum information over large distances is a requirement …

Carbon captured by marine organisms helps sequester atmospheric CO 2 , especially in
shallow coastal ecosystems, where rates of primary production and burial of organic carbon ( …

‘Blue Carbon’, which is carbon captured by marine living organisms, has recently been
highlighted as a new option for climate change mitigation initiatives. In particular, coastal …

Macroalgal beds have drawn attention as one of the vegetated coastal ecosystems that act
as atmospheric CO 2 sinks. Although macroalgal metabolism as well as inorganic and …

CRISPR/Cas9 technology is a versatile tool for targeted mutagenesis in many organisms,
including plants. However, this technique has not been applied to the Japanese morning glory …

Calcium carbonates (CaCO 3 ) often accumulate in mangrove and seagrass sediments. As
CaCO 3 production emits CO 2 , there is concern that this may partially offset the role of Blue …

Natural plant viruses are rodlike or spherical nanoassemblies with discrete size and
morphology, in which genome nucleic acids are encapsulated by self-assembled coat proteins (…
