Abstract As a major food crop and model organism, rice has been mostly studied with the largest number of functionally characterized genes among all crops. We previously built the funRiceGenes database including ∼2800 functionally characterized rice genes and ∼5000 members of different gene families. Since being published, the funRiceGenes database has been accessed by more than 49,000 users with over 490,000 page views. The funRiceGenes database has been continuously updated with newly cloned rice genes and newly published literature, based on the progress of rice functional genomics studies. Up to Nov 2021, ≥4100 functionally characterized rice genes and ∼6000 members of different gene families were collected in funRiceGenes, accounting for 22.3% of the 39,045 annotated protein-coding genes in the rice genome. Here, we summarized the update of the funRiceGenes database with new data and new features in the last five years.

Over the last quarter of a century there has been an emergence of a tissue engineering industry, one that has now evolved into the broader area of regenerative medicine. There have been ‘ups and downs’ in this industry; however, it now appears to be on a track that may be described as ‘back to the future’. The latest data indicate that for 2007 the private sector activity in the world for this industry is approaching $2.5 billion, with 167 companies/business units and more than 6000 employee full time equivalents. Although small compared with the medical device and also the pharmaceutical industries, these numbers are not insignificant. Thus, there is the indication that this industry, and the related technology, may still achieve its potential and address the needs of millions of patients worldwide, in particular those with needs that currently are unmet.

Focuses on the leadership of key negotiators on both sides of the maritime border who thought outside of the box to enable a successful international agreement. Building in Incentives Rather than Requirements describes the crucial involvement of the private U.S. oil industry in the binational negotiations. With private-sector input, the parties were able to devise an incentive mechanism, unlike any other in the world, to manage potential conflicts between state-owned and private companies, and encourage the infrastructure development and joint management of the hydrocarbons reservoirs. Creating Better Outcomes through Relationships of Trust concludes the case by illustrating the ways in which the working group meetings and continued formal and informal interactions between the stakeholders led to the ultimate success of the Gulf of Mexico negotiations.

The Future

Being an entrepreneur means looking ahead. The purpose of this study is to answer the question that become the key for each entrepreneur: Is not just what does the client want now, but what does the client expect in the future? There are many other developments which can affect the running of the companies, both now and in the future. But how far away we are looking? 5 years, 10 years? Apparently “the future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.” (William Gibson). When we speak about the future we speak about megatrends, about the vision, predictions or scenarious. Major global forces taking shape today will significantly impact the business landscape for the private sector until 2030. Some of these are known to us: population ageing and the resulting expected tightness on the labor market. The results revealed that the demands that society and the environment will increasingly place on the company's business strategy.
