The Bioorganic Chemistry Lab studies which substances are involved in the interactions among organisms centered on plant flowers. Flowers are the most diverse of all things that living organisms produce, and they play a central role in agricultural science, including plant breeding, crop production, and the maintenance of ecosystems. By investigating mechanisms such as how plants recognize pollen, the lab aims to discover new bioactive substances, including proteins and small compounds. Combining biology, chemistry, and information science, the lab's goal is to contribute to an agricultural society that can be sustained while preserving diversity.

The Biological Function Development Chemistry Lab studies the mechanisms for sensing taste, which determines the value of food. Its goal is to clarify, at the molecular level, how taste signals received in the mouth reach the brain and are perceived as "delicious." Using cultured cells expressing taste receptors, the lab examines how taste-causing substances are detected. The lab also studies how preferences and the perception of taste change depending on nutritional state and eating experience.

The Plant Molecular Physiology Lab studies the mechanisms by which plants respond to environmental change and survive. While meteorological disasters such as droughts and heat waves cause serious damage to agriculture, plants have flexibly adapted to their environment and evolved the ability to endure it. By clarifying this ability at the level of molecular mechanisms and exploring ways to put it to use, the lab aims to contribute to food supply and sustainable agriculture. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and crops such as rice and tomato, the lab has recently focused especially on responses to high temperature.

The Nagata Lab (Team N) studies the mechanisms underlying instinctive feeding behavior in insects. When insects moved onto land, becoming able to eat new resources such as plants was a turning point that led to their explosive diversification. The lab investigates what insects eat and how they eat it from multiple perspectives: evolution, neurobiology, metabolism, and the components contained in their food. Mainly using the two-spotted cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus), the lab works on topics such as how hormones regulate the motivation to eat.
