Discovery and utilization of key genes regulating plant productivity
The aim of our research group is the elucidation of cytokinin action on the control of organ development, sink-source balance, and the storage profile of assimilated products in order to improve plant productivity.

Research
- We are interested in the functional mechanism of cytokinins, and are studying on cytokinin metabolism and signaling systems. To understand phytohormone network, we have developed a highly sensitive and high-throughput analysis platform of cytokinins, auxins, ABA, and GAs.
More Info
- Plant productivity is determined by genetic factors and environmental parameters. We are studying not only the identification of gene functions regarding productivity, but also mechanisms that respond to environmental conditions.
- More Info
- We make progress on our researches also in collaboration with external projects and private companies.
