  • Human can not live without food which is prodvided by cereal harvesting the solar energy in past, present and future. The purpose of research is to clarify the physiological and molecular mechanism for keeping crop productivity and for increase the productivity under a chaning climate.
    I'm very enjoying our field studies for finding something new and important with students in each crop season. Thee topics are conducting mainly;
    (1) Crop productivity and global change
    (2) Cold damage in rice for inducing male sterility
    (3) Improvement of photosynthesis

    Searching for students and also for colabolators.

Research Career 【 display / non-display 】

  • Screening for high photosynthesis mutants in rice

    Periods of research：

    2011.11
    -
    2015.03

    Keywords : photosynthesis

    Style of Research： Individual

    Research Program： The Other Research Programs  

    Contents of Research Career

    High photosynthesis is required to increase crop productivity. To catch up future food demand, I'm screening new mutnats for high photosynthesis in rice and identifying the physiological and molecular mechanism.

  • QTL for controlling cold tolerance at booting stage

    Periods of research：

    2011.04
    -
    Now

    Keywords : cold tolerance

    Style of Research： Individual

    Research Program： Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research  

    Contents of Research Career

    Rice productivity in cool climate has been limited by male sterility induced by low temperature at the booting stage. This study clarifed QTL related the high cold tolerance and physiological mechanism.

  • Screening for high responsive rice cultivars to elevated atmospheric CO2

    Periods of research：

    2009.04
    -
    Now

    Keywords : Global change

    Style of Research： Individual

    Research Program： The Other Research Programs  

    Contents of Research Career

    Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration can increase leaf photosynthesis and grain yield. I'm trying to find a cultivar with high responsive to elevated CO2, and to clarify the physiological and molecular mechanism.

  • Autumn direct-seeding under cool climate in rice

    Periods of research：
