Plant Molecular Signaling Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the mechanisms of plant immunity.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring plant immunity regulated by environmental stress.
The Plant Molecular Signaling Group is a research group in the Plant Genome Analysis Division of the Center for Gene Research.
Lecturer Mika Nomoto was selected for the Young Scientists' Award in the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (fiscal 2024) for her research on plant immune mechanisms regulated by environmental stress.
Lecturer Nomoto discovered that trichomes on the leaf surface activate immune responses when they receive mechanical stimulation such as rain.
Key terms
- Trichome
- A hair-like, protruding cell growing on the surface of a leaf.
- Mechanical stimulation
- Stimulation caused by the application of a physical force, such as rain or touch.
- Resistance to insect damage
- The ability of a plant to withstand being eaten by insects.
