	Nippon Paint News Release / February 26, 2001
		Located in the city of Hirara on Miyakojima Island in the Okinawa Prefecture, the first phase of construction for the facility will commence in early March of 2001 with completion scheduled for the end of July of the same year.
		Named the Nippon Paint Miyakojima Weathering Test Center, this facility is designed to test painted/coated samples or actual structures for paint/coating's weathering resistance by exposing them to outdoor conditions such as sunlight and rain.
		Miyakojima Island is located at a similar latitude and shares comparable climatic conditions to that of Florida in the U.S.A. -- home to the facility that sets the global standard for weathering tests.

		Plants of the accession Miyakojima MG-20 showed the highest level of polymorphism relative to Gifu (over 4%).
		Segregation in the F-2 of the Gifu-derived symbiotic mutations Ljsym70, Ljsym72, Ljsym74-1 (alb1-1) and Ljsym78-1 from a cross with Miyakojima was normal, while the ratios seen from a cross with L. filicaulis were distorted.
		Miyakojima displays several traits that distinguish it from other Japanese accessions: low concentrations of anthocyanin in the stem and petals, few trichomes, a more upright habit, broad leaflets and petals, and large fl seeds.

		I knew that I had plenty of fuel to make it to Shimojishima (which is on the little island marked Irabujima in the London Times Atlas), but not for the flight after that -- and Shimojishima, like Hateruma, has no refueling facilities.
		Once in the air, therefore, I decided to stop at nearby Ishigaki (ROIG), which is on the southwest tip of Miyakojima, which extends in a triangular shape north and east.
		Scenically, this was the most interesting part of the trip, as reflected in the screenshots: the island and airport as seen from the west, the final approach to Ishigaki, and the long southern edge that I fly past after refueling.

		The obvious polymorphism observed in the genome size and the chromosome morphology between the two accessions, revealed specific accumulation of heterochromatin in the Miyakojima, or elimination in the Gifu.

		Combined with proper management techniques, the organic fertilizer not only gives Miyakojima's farmers the ability to reduce the nitrate contamination; it even recycles phosphorus accumulated in the soils.
