Cell Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores, at the gene level, how flower patterns and disease resistance arise in plants.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how crop traits emerge, starting from genes.
The Cell Engineering Lab studies how the various characteristics (traits) of plants emerge, using food crops and horticultural crops as research materials.
From a molecular biology perspective, the lab deepens understanding of life phenomena in plants and plant pathogens, and develops applied technologies based on that knowledge.
Focusing on flower patterns and resistance to viruses and filamentous fungi, the lab conducts education and research that contribute to cultivation management and cultivar development.
Key terms
- Trait
- A characteristic of the form or properties of an organism, such as flower color or disease resistance. Traits appear through the action of genes.
- Epigenetics
- A mechanism that switches gene activity on and off without changing the DNA sequence itself.
- Gene silencing
- A phenomenon in which the activity of a specific gene is suppressed so that no protein is produced from that gene.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the processes by which diverse plant traits emerge, using food crops and horticultural crops as materials. By combining genetic approaches with methods centered on the regulation of gene expression, it pursues research to alter plant traits.
