AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how Hokkaido's plants came to be
Assistant Professor Azuma studies the classification and evolution of plants, focusing on those native to Hokkaido.
The lab investigates the phylogeny of groups whose classification is disputed, and explores how their morphological characteristics have evolved.
It also conducts genetic analyses of populations of plants at risk of extinction, and surveys of the local flora of Hokkaido.
He belongs to the Botanic Garden (Chuo-ku, Sapporo) of the Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere.
