Fukui Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how to control plant seed germination using chemical compounds and genes.

AboutAbout the lab
Controlling seed germination at will
The Fukui Lab aims to freely control germination in plant seeds.
The lab searches for genetic factors that suppress germination and synthesizes compounds that induce it.
It also studies substances that regulate plant growth.
Its research field is bioorganic chemistry, covering plant hormones and chemical biology.
Key terms
- Plant hormone
- A substance produced inside a plant that regulates processes such as growth and germination
- Chemical biology
- A research field that uses chemical compounds as tools to investigate the mechanisms at work inside living organisms
