This research used porang corms from the second growing period which were planted to produce the vegetative phase of third growing period. These corms were obtained based on the harvest time had determined. The harvest time was determined, i.e. 1) at two weeks before the plants shed (R<sub>0</sub> - 1);2) when the plants shed (R<sub>0</sub>) and 3) at two weeks after the plants shed (R<sub>0</sub> + 1). Slides for microscopic observation were obtained from slices on the edge and center of porang corms. Organ slices were cleared using modified clearing method. Parameters observed were the shape and the size of CaOx crystal. The variations of styloid, prism, druse and raphide crystals found in porang corms at the three harvest time were 1, 2, 3 and 37 variations respectively. The variation of CaOx crystals tended to be same in porang corms at three harvest times. The variation of these crystals tended to be static. It is also known that raphide crystal has the greatest variation amount. On the contrary, styloid crystal has the fewest variation amounts. This abundance of a number of raphide crystal variations is possibly due to its role as a defense mechanism in porang corms.展开更多

Recently, we had used these lessons learned on the internal gelation process to prepare quantities of uranium dioxide kernels of uniform sizes. This paper discusses the whole efforts of experimental processes.展开更多

In this paper, we described a method to prepare protein samples of taro that was compatible with subsequent analysis using 2D-PAGE. We compared proteins from shoot basal region from 0 d and 2 d after the beginning of tuberization. By this method we got about (2 000) spots and high reproducibility. Additionally some changes of protein expression were found.展开更多
