Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) announced that its MOTOROiD2 concept model has won the globally-prestigious Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2025. This marks the fifth time Yamaha Motor has won the Design Concept category, following &Y01 (Andy 01) in 2017(co-created with Yamaha Corporation), the original MOTOROiD in 2018, and the YNF-01 in 2019, the "e-plegona" in 2024 (co-created with Yamaha Corporation), making it the Company's first win in the category in six years. Premiering to the public in 2023, the award-winning MOTOROiD2 is an evolution of the first MOTOROiD concept model, which was unveiled in 2017 and sought to explore a new relationship between people and their machines. MOTOROiD2 was conceptualized to be a "lifetime companion" and aims to generate two-way responses between it and its owner, thus the design evolved in a more organic and emotional direction. Using an organic, semi-transparent exterior gives the MOTOROiD2 a friendly, lifelike appearance. Also, the entire chassis functions as an interface, expressing the bike's "emotions" through light, touch, and movement. Additionally, the "LEAF" haptic device in the center of the chassis enables non-verbal communication with the user through one's sense of touch and sight. These features deepen the rider's sensory connection with the bike, achieving a futuristic, mutually responding design that sets it apart from conventional motorcycles. The Red Dot Design Awards, organized by Germany's Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, are widely recognized as one of the most prestigious design awards in the world.

CapitaLand Development to launch LyndenWoods, first residential development in Singapore Science Park
CapitaLand Development (CLD), the development arm of CapitaLand Group, today announced the launch of LyndenWoods, the first residential development within the rejuvenated Singapore Science Park (SSP). This landmark project marks a major milestone in the precinct’s transformation into a vibrant, mixed-use innovation hub. As the pioneer residential offering in this growth node, LyndenWoods presents a unique opportunity for homeowners and investors seeking long-term value, lifestyle convenience, and first-mover advantage. The public preview will begin on 28 June 2025. Strategically located next to Geneo, the next-generation life sciences and innovation cluster, LyndenWoods offers discerning homeowners and investors an opportunity to be part of a holistic work-live-play innovation district that seamlessly integrates purpose-built infrastructure, biophilic living, community-driven amenities, and thoughtfully designed placemaking programmes. Reinforcing CLD’s commitment to creating vibrant work-live-play neighbourhoods, LyndenWoods comprises 343 thoughtfully designed units across two 24-storey towers. Residents will be a short 5-minute walk to Kent Ridge MRT, having access to food & beverage (F&B) and retail options there and at Geneo. They are also close to key landmarks and nearby schools, such as the National University of Singapore, National University Hospital, one-north, Rochester Commons, Fairfield Methodist School (Primary), Anglo-Chinese Junior College, and Singapore Polytechnic. Just 15 minutes by train to Orchard Road and the Central Business District (CBD), LyndenWoods delivers a unique balance of connectivity and convenience. LyndenWoods facade Mr Ronald Tay, CEO of CLD (Singapore) Mr Ronald Tay, CEO of CLD (Singapore), said: “LyndenWoods is a pivotal milestone in the ongoing transformation journey of SSP. CLD’s first residential development within SSP reflects our vision to rejuvenate the area into a dynamic, mixed-use innovation cluster. Alongside Geneo, LyndenWoods anchors a new urban ecosystem designed around curated social spaces that foster community interaction, collaboration, and wellness. The upcoming development benefits from its proximity to Kent Ridge Park, which connects seamlessly to the Southern Ridges' nature trails and the National Parks Board’s 150-kilometre Round Island Route park connector network. With easy access to Kent Ridge MRT and surrounding F&B and retail amenities, supported by improved pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, LyndenWoods addresses growing demand for well-located, high-quality housing and exemplifies how integrated urban districts can deliver both future-ready liveability and enduring investment value.” As Singapore continues to implement its decentralisation strategy under the URA Master Plan, LyndenWoods is a prime example of how private sector developments can support the shift towards self-sustaining regional hubs. By embedding residential, commercial, and recreational spaces within a single connected district and supplementing it with placemaking programming, such projects reduce reliance on core CBD, shorten commutes, and promote a higher quality of life at the district level. Tree of Life reimagined, where architecture breathes with nature Rooted in the architectural concept of “Tree of Life”, LyndenWoods offers a distinctive design that brings residents closer to nature while connecting vertical communities. The two residential towers are each interlinked by communal sky terraces on every floor, creating a unique experience of living amongst greenery at the doorstep. These elevated gardens not only foster community and well-being but also sculpt each tower into a dual point-block design, which enhances natural ventilation and daylighting throughout the building and residential units. The development adopts a visually fenceless design, with residential units lifted off the ground plane, allowing the surrounding landscape to flow uninterrupted across and blend naturally with the architecture. The landscape design further reinforces this connection, offering a layered, immersive experience that mirrors Singapore’s natural rainforest ecosystem. The landscape deck forms the understorey, providing shaded and thermally comfortable communal areas. Above, the residential towers and sky terraces represent the emergent layer, bringing greenery and shared spaces to every floor. With its forest sanctuary approach, LyndenWoods offers a biophilic lifestyle deeply attuned to its surroundings, echoing the adjacent Kent Ridge Park and extending the green spine of the Southern Ridges into residents’ everyday lives. The development is slated to achieve the BCA Green Mark Platinum certification, achieving all five badges for excellence in Health and Well-being, Whole Life Carbon, Resilience, Maintainability, and Intelligence. Designed with occupant comfort and environmental sustainability in mind, the development includes green features such as water-efficient fittings to optimise water usage, blocks oriented to minimise heat exposure, and energy-efficient air-conditioning systems in each unit to maintain cool temperatures while reducing energy consumption. LyndenWoods residents will enjoy greenery at the doorstep with communal sky terraces on every floor. LyndenWoods features a range of unit types, from 635 square feet (sq ft) for a two-bedroom unit to 1,647 sq ft for a four-bedroom unit. Designed for modern hybrid living, all units are equipped with smart-home technology, bespoke finishes and complemented by co-working lounge, flexible third spaces, and a range of wellness amenities including a 50-metre infinity lap pool, recreational tennis court, pickleball court, pets’ park and the Lynden Club—a multi-level hub featuring a gym, social lounge, and function room. LyndenWoods pets' park and forest playground LyndenWoods cascading spa pool LyndenWoods social lounge The sales gallery is located next to 7 Science Park Drive and will open daily from 28 June 2025, 10am to 7pm.

Suntory Global Innovation Center Succeeds in Elucidating the Sex Determination System in Hops in International Joint Study with Japanese and Czech Research Institutions
Suntory Global Innovation Center Inc. (SIC), an R&D organization of Suntory Group, is proud to announce that it has successfully elucidated the sex-determining system in hops as a result of an international joint study with research institutions from Japan and the Czech Republic. The research was published as a paper entitled “Evolution and functioning of an X-A balance sex-determining system in hops” on the website of the world-renowned scientific journal "Nature Plants" on June 18, 2025. From SIC, Eiichiro Ono and Tenta Segawa contributed to this work, which was completed in collaboration with researchers from Okayama University and Institute of Science Tokyo. The research was also done jointly with Czech research institutions, namely Hop Research Institute Co. Ltd. and the Institute of Biophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Other contributors include researchers from Iwate Biotechnology Research Center, Iwate University, Kazusa DNA Research Institute, National Institute of Genetics, University of Edinburgh, and University of Toyama (listed in alphabetical order). Research Background Many plant species are hermaphrodite, with bisexual flowers that have both male and female reproductive organs, stamens and pistils, and can produce seeds by itself. However, Humulus lupulus (hop) of the Cannabaceae family, essential for brewing beer, and its wild relative Humulus japonicus (common name: Japanese hop), are dioecious plants with flowers that have male and female reproductive organs in separate individuals, like humans. Therefore, a single plant cannot produce offspring on its own and requires both male and female flowers (Figure 1). Notably, only the female flowers of hops are used in beer brewing (Figure 2). Figure 1: Wild Hops (Dioecious Humulus lupulus var. cordifolius) Download Figure 2: (left) Female flowers of Humulus lupulus, hops used in beer brewing and (right) Female flowers of Humulus japonicus, a wild relative of hops Download Until now, it has been known that there is an X-A balance system in the sex determination of hops. While the sex-determining genes in the X-Y system, alike human sex-determination system, are located on the Y chromosome, the sex-determining genes of the X-A balance system are expected to be located on the X chromosome. Although the SIC-led research team previously revealed the draft genome including the almost complete DNA sequence of female hops in 2014*, the detailed mechanism underlying sex determination remained unresolved due to the limitations of the analysis technology at that time and the genome information available for only one sex. Research method In this research, the latest genome sequence techniques were used to determine the genome sequences of both a female (Saaz cultivar) and a male hop and to construct high-quality genome sequences assembled at the chromosome level. The research also revealed the genome of the male Humulus japonicus , a wild relative of hops. To identify sex-determining genes in the X-A balance system, the research group also conducted a detailed comparison of the X and Y chromosomes of both hops (Figures 3 and 4). Figure 3 (left) : Illustrated chromosome maps of hop (top) and human(bottom) Figure 4 (right) : Chromosomes of a male hop Download Research Findings By comparing the genome sequences of the X and Y chromosomes, the researchers identified a candidate gene similar to the ethylene receptor (EXER) in all the X chromosomes of dioecious plants of the Cannabaceae family (hop, H. japonicus , and Cannabis ) and found it to be critical for sex determination. The research demonstrated that expression of this EXER gene enhances the growth of female reproductive organs while compromising the growth of male reproductive organs. Conversely, suppression of this gene results in the formation of male reproductive organs. The contrasting results confirmed that the sex of hops and other dioecious plants in the Cannabaceae family is determined by EXER (Figure 5). Figure 5: EXER is the sex determinant for dioecious plants of Cannabaceae Download Future Application This study has elucidated the X-A balance system of sex determination in hops and its related dioecious plants, highlighting the further diversity of sex determination systems. Based on this research, it is expected that the development of hop varieties with superior aroma and tastes as well as growth characteristics, namely modern domesticated traits, will be accelerated. In addition, this research is expected to advance the understanding of sex systems in various organisms, beyond plants. Established in 2013, SIC conducts research in core technologies for Suntory Group. With a mission to create value for future customers through its research, SIC will continue to actively and boldly challenge itself to pursue new customer value and further excel in the natural sciences.
