Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to elucidate the rice growth properties, stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry of 5 light elements (H, C, N, O, S) and 16 trace metal element analysis were performed on Japanese rice samples with the support of the Food Research Division of the Agricultural Research Organization. 17 Chinese rice samples obtained with the cooperation of Xi'an Jiaotong University in China was also analyzed and improved through a professional stable isotope ratio cross-check. This research have been established a highly accurate plantation area estimation technology and made it possible to evaluate the accurate growth environment based on the traceability analysis of the plant growth area by combining both stable isotope ratios and trace metal analysis. The creation of a database that enables traceability of the habitat reflects the stable nitrogen isotope (15 N / 14 N) fraction during enzymatic deamination of glutamate and responds to mass / energy transfer in the biosphere.
