Provided is a technique for determining equations and parameters used for growth prediction calculations for plants and animals that do not require breeding or cultivation.　When growth data of a specific outdoor plant or animal and weather observation data (180) are input, all parameters other than coefficients of a plurality of growth model equations will first of all vary. Next, reciprocals of coefficients corresponding to combined conditions of values of all parameters other than the coefficients in the growth model equations are estimated, and an average value or a median value of the estimated values is fixed as a value unique to the target species. Subsequently, an integrated growth rate is calculated, and a combination of an appropriate growth rate speed model equation and values of parameters is selected by cross-verification. Furthermore, a search is conducted for a combination of more appropriate parameter values using a COBYLA method.

The present inventors aimed to identify the gene responsible for the temperature-sensitive male sterility trait in “PL12” and to provide a method for producing conditional male sterile plants targeting the gene, and performed whole genome sequence analysis on “PL12” and the original variety thereof to compare the two. As a result, it was found that there was a deletion of about 150 kb in “PL12” chromosome 7. Then, as for this region, six types of partial deletion lines were produced by genome editing, and the presence or absence of the temperature-sensitive male sterility trait in each line was used as an index to successfully narrow the range, containing the responsible mutation, down to about 10 kb. Furthermore, as a result of creating a line with genome editing-disrupted functions of the two genes located in this region, the gene responsible for the temperature-sensitive male sterility trait was successfully identified. Further, it was confirmed that the functions of the gene could be suppressed to impart the above trait to Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato, as in the case of rice.

An object of the present invention is to develop: a method of efficiently producing a long bagworm silk thread without slack of reeling during collection while preventing a change in the spinning direction and the runaway of the bagworm from a rail, and alleviating a burden on the bagworm; and an apparatus for implementing the thread-producing method. Provided is an apparatus for producing a bagworm silk thread, including: a movable loop-shaped rail configured to move in the longitudinal direction and to be held by the legs of a bagworm; a fixator configured to fix the bagworm; and an adhesion controller configured to store an adhesion control solution for washing away or removing a gummy component from the bagworm silk thread spun on the movable loop-shaped rail, wherein the apparatus makes it possible to cumulate the bagworm silk thread spun on the movable loop-shaped rail.

Provided is a low-cost and full-circulation type hydroponic cultivation technique that enables disease control and suppression of growth disturbance caused by allelopathic substances without requiring pH adjustment.　This hydroponic cultivation method is characterized by comprising adding an extract of a polyphenol-containing plant body or a mushroom extract to a cultivation liquid. The extract of a polyphenol-containing plant body or the mushroom extract is contained in the cultivation liquid in the form of a complex with a trace element. The complex does not precipitate, even when the pH of the cultivation liquid changes, and not only promotes the absorption of the trace element but also exhibits a remarkable antimicrobial effect and controls diseases. In particular, a polyphenol-iron complex has an effect of decomposing organic substances and thus decomposes and removes allelopathic substances.
