The paper identifies the candidate gene SUGI_0493010 for MS2-type male sterility in Japanese cedar using linkage mapping and transcriptomic data.

This paper develops a simple, environmentally friendly DNA extraction and PCR-RFLP method for genotyping the MS4 gene in Cryptomeria japonica, suitable for field use.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Japanese cedar, using long-read and Hi-C sequencing to achieve high contiguity and accuracy.

The paper develops chloroplast genome-based genetic resources for 12 subalpine tree and shrub species using genome skimming, identifying SNPs and SSRs for phylogeographic and conservation studies.

The paper develops a DNA barcode database for Japanese woody plants, covering 834 species and showing high identification rates using chloroplast DNA regions.

The paper assesses mutational effects of gamma radiation on Arabidopsis thaliana, finding increased de novo mutations with radiation dose and higher mutagenic effects during the reproductive stage.

The paper identifies a male-sterile gene (MS1) in Japanese cedar by analyzing deletions in a lipid transfer protein gene and proposes marker-assisted selection for breeding.

The paper develops PCR and LAMP markers to detect mutant alleles of the MS1 gene in Cryptomeria japonica for pollen-free cultivar production.

This study identifies markers for the male-sterility gene MS1 in Cryptomeria japonica and demonstrates their use in marker-assisted selection across different populations.

The paper assembles a high-quality transcriptome from male strobili of sugi, identifies expressed genes, and demonstrates its utility for functional and evolutionary studies.
