Plant Nutrition Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how plants transport nutrient and toxic elements and how they tolerate them.
AboutAbout the lab
How plants transport and tolerate elements.
The Plant Nutrition Lab studies how plants handle elements that serve as nutrients and elements that are harmful.
Associate Professor Uraguchi has studied the mechanisms of plant tolerance to toxic elements such as cadmium and arsenic, as well as the mechanisms by which these elements are transported.
Associate Professor Uraguchi has also worked on plants' physiological responses to nutrient elements such as boron and zinc, and the mechanisms by which these elements are transported.
The plants Associate Professor Uraguchi has used as research materials range widely, from model plants such as Arabidopsis, rice, and tomato to green manure crops and wild heavy-metal hyperaccumulator plants.
Key terms
- Model plant
- A plant that is easy to grow, has well-characterized genetic information, and is widely used in research, such as Arabidopsis
- Green manure crop
- A crop grown not for harvest but to be plowed into the field soil and used as fertilizer
- Heavy-metal hyperaccumulator plant
- A plant that accumulates far more of the heavy metals in the soil in its body than ordinary plants do
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how plants tolerate toxic elements and how they transport nutrient and toxic elements within their bodies. It pursues plant biotechnology research aimed at understanding and controlling these mechanisms.
