Horticultural Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring the quality and cultivation techniques of vegetables, fruit trees, and flowers.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the flavor and cultivation of familiar horticultural crops.
The Horticultural Science lab studies horticultural crops such as vegetables, fruits, and cut flowers, which are familiar in people's lives and important to industry.
It aims to develop techniques that improve the taste, appearance, and functionality of harvested produce, as well as techniques that enable production at times of year when harvesting was previously not possible.
Stress-tolerant horticultural crops that can cope with global warming, and environmentally friendly cultivation methods that keep production costs low, are also subjects of study.
The lab analyzes enzymes and genes involved in crop growth and functionality, as well as the environmental conditions suited to cultivation.
