Research Outline
Understanding of plant genomic network and its application
We are analyzing novel chemical, epigenetic, RNA and peptide regulation mechanisms in environmental stress adaptation and acclimation by integrated omics analyses. We are also analyzing regulatory networks of tuberous root formation by integrated omics analyses in cassava, an important tropical crop for carbon utilization. We aim to develop useful plant resources, such as increased stress tolerance and improved plant productivity by use of chemical compounds and transformation technology.
