Metabolome Analysis elucidates the change of taste of Dadacha-mame scientifically

IAB analyzed how metabolites change and how it influences to the taste by Metabolome analysis, when they're preserved. This is a collaborative research project with JA Tsuruoka (Tsuroka city, President : Mr.Imano) and Shonai division Yamagata prefecture(Mikawa town, President: Mr.Toshio Aida) to seek the best condition to preserve Dadacha-mame.

Scientists uncover shared phosphoproteome linking remote plant species

Researchers at RIKEN and IAB Keio University have shown that even the most widely-varying species of plants share remarkable similarities in the composition of proteins in them that undergo phosphorylation, a regulatory mechanism involved in various cellular phenomena. A database released by the group, with information on over three thousand phosphorylated proteins and phosphorylation sites in rice, opens new doors in the study and engineering of plants.
