The lab explores techniques and theory for growing high-quality fruit from fruit trees.
AboutAbout the lab
Techniques and theory for growing high-quality fruit.
The Pomology Lab works on developing new cultivation techniques for producing high-quality fruit from fruit trees.
It also aims to clarify the theory behind these techniques from the standpoint of physiology.
Its research fields are located at Matsudo Campus and Kashiwa-no-ha Campus, and at the Forest Environment Horticultural Farm in Numata, Gunma Prefecture.
The lab works with many species, including Japanese pear, grape, kiwifruit, Japanese apricot (ume), peach, fig, persimmon, and apple.
Key terms
- Endodormancy
- A state in which deciduous fruit trees do not produce buds during winter even if warmed. It is released after exposure to a certain amount of cold
- Epigenetics
- A mechanism that switches gene activity without changing the DNA base sequence
- Promoter region
- A region of DNA near the position where gene reading begins, which influences the strength of gene activity
ResearchResearch themes
Using fruit trees as research subjects, the lab develops new cultivation techniques that make it possible to produce high-quality fruit. It also aims to clarify the theory behind these techniques from the standpoint of physiology.

*Illustrative imageMechanisms of Dormancy and Bud Break in Fruit Trees
The lab investigates endodormancy, in which deciduous fruit trees halt bud growth in winter, in terms of gene function, promoter regions, and epigenetics.
