摘要:
This invention provides a plant health diagnostic method and a plant health diagnostic device for detecting initial disorder of a plant individual body carrying pests or the like in a large-scale plant cultivation field. The plant health diagnostic method is for diagnosing a health state of a plant in accordance with chlorophyll fluorescence emitted from chlorophyll of a plant body. The method includes: obtaining a first minimum point s after a maximum point p having largest chlorophyll fluorescence intensity and a first maximum point m after the minimum point s on a time course curve for the chlorophyll fluorescence intensity; defining chlorophyll fluorescence intensity values at the minimum point s and the first maximum point m after the minimum point s as S and M, respectively; and comparing the value S and the value M to evaluate the state of the plant. The state of the plant, which cannot be visually recognized from outer appearance, can be detected by comparison between the chlorophyll fluorescence intensity values (S and M), thereby realizing diagnosis of the state of the plant individual body in an early stage.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for treating autoimmune diseases. Disclosed is a method or the like for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, which utilizes an antigen-specific tolerogenic antigen presenting cell. Specifically disclosed are: a method for producing an antigen-specific tolerogenic antigen presenting cell, which is characterized by using carbonic anhydrase I; an immunogenic antigen presenting cell which is specific to carbonic anhydrase I; and a method or the like for the treatment of autoimmune diseases (especially inflammatory bowel diseases), which is characterized by using a tolerogenic antigen presenting cell which is specific to carbonic anhydrase I.

Provided is a nitric oxide detection element which is capable of measuring a trace amount of NO gas contained in a gas in a scale of several ppb and of which the time degradation in performance is suppressed. The nitric oxide detection element includes at a surface thereof: a dye having a porphyrin skeleton and containing divalent cobalt as a central metal; and a radical scavenger. The nitric oxide detection element includes a substrate 12 and a sensing film 11 formed on a surface of the substrate 12. The sensing film 11 may contain the dye and the radical scavenger.
