AboutAbout the lab
Searching for, preserving, and making use of useful genetic resources
The Genetic Resources Development Research Center is an affiliated education and research facility of the Faculty of Agriculture at Kyushu University that searches for, preserves, and develops uses for useful genetic resources.
Its subjects are the silkworm, plants centered on rice, and industrially important fermentation microorganisms, areas in which Kyushu University's School of Agriculture has pursued research with globally distinctive features.
It consists of the silkworm, plant, and microbial gene development fields, and also takes part in education and research as a field of the Division of Bioscience and Biotechnology.
To students and researchers from inside and outside the School of Agriculture who have obtained the required permission, it provides research facilities and genetic resources, and it also offers research supervision and education.
Key terms
- Genetic resources
- The genetic assets of living organisms that are useful for agriculture, industry, and the conservation of the global environment. They are searched for, preserved, improved, and put to use
- Transgenic silkworm
- A silkworm created by introducing genes. The Silkworm Genetic Development Field works on producing them
- In silico mutant screening database
- A database on the web where mutants of a target gene can be searched
ResearchResearch themes
Genetic resources are regarded as a national and global asset of great importance not only for academic research but also for agriculture, industry, and the conservation of the global environment. The center conducts research on maintaining and preserving them stably, as well as on developing new genetic resources with excellent traits, improving them through genetic manipulation and other means, and making effective use of them.
*Illustrative imagePreservation and development of silkworm genetic resources
The Silkworm Genetic Development Field preserves, develops, and evaluates silkworm genetic resources. It also works on clarifying how gene functions are expressed and on producing transgenic silkworms.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment and use of rice genetic resources
The Plant Genetic Development Field develops and evaluates rice genetic resources, preserves and uses them, and develops new genetic resources. It has also set up an in silico mutant screening database that lets users search the web for mutants of a target gene.
*Illustrative imageSearch for and use of microbial genetic resources
The Microbial Genetic Development Field searches for and evaluates microbial genetic resources, and preserves them and develops uses for them. It also works on the advanced functionalization and application of useful genes.
