From molecules to human beings, the things that affect living creatures are all in the connections. In that regard, we took up and discussed RNA. Though the DNA - RNA - protein sequence is described in all textbooks, RNA has been given less weight, almost as if it were a mid-level management position. More attention has been focused on RNA recently, however, because it is now understood that is has a dual role. It carries information, as does DNA, and it functions as a protein, which means that it is an integral part of all living creatures. This is not a rebuke of Yoshikazu NakamuraÅ\I'm just stressing the fascination in RNA research.
      In Research, we see that the cellular slime molds for unicellular organisms are attracting attention. They sometimes exhibit a process of becoming multicellular in conjunction with changes into the shape of a slug or mushroom. Behind the scenes, we see the functioning of the genome. Gwi, who lives the life of a hunter, creates order by giving the lion the important role of the powerful other, while maintaining a feeling of oneness with animals. Cells and seeds-we see the importance of their mutual connection.       In Scientist Library, Hiroh Shibaoka investigates the plant physiology while keeping alive a question from his childhood, based on the Japanese name for the plant: Does a sunflower really turn with the sun? It is a perfect illustration of the technique of "asking the plants".
