Plant Nutrition Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates photosynthesis and nutrient use in plants such as rice.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying how plants function, using rice and Arabidopsis.
The Plant Nutrition Lab studies functions specific to higher plants, using major crops such as rice and model plants such as Arabidopsis.
Its aim is to clarify the mechanisms of photosynthesis, the absorption and assimilation of inorganic nutrients, and the distribution and use of assimilated products within the plant, as well as how these relate to the environment.
In light of global-scale environmental change caused by humans, the lab considers it necessary to deeply understand how plants that serve as food respond and adapt to environmental change.
The lab's research spans the gene level to the whole-plant level.
Key terms
- Photosynthesis
- The process by which plants use light energy to make organic compounds such as sugars from carbon dioxide.
- Absorption and assimilation of inorganic nutrients
- The process by which plants take in inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen from the soil and convert them into their own components.
- Model plant
- A plant that is easy to use for genetic research and is widely used as a research material. Arabidopsis is a typical example.
ResearchResearch themes
Using major crops such as rice and model plants such as Arabidopsis, this lab investigates mechanisms such as photosynthesis, the absorption and assimilation of inorganic nutrients, and the distribution and use of assimilated products within the plant. To clarify how these relate to the environment, it conducts research from the gene level to the whole-plant level.
