植物の新規光細胞操作法の応用

紹介文

遺伝子組換え技術の進歩により、農業的に有用な植物の創出が可能になってきた。しかし、好ましいタイミング・部位だけで有用な特徴を獲得させることは依然として難しい。現在、高解像度顕微鏡下では、光細胞操作により、局所的に遺伝子発現を引き起こす技術が実用化されている。本研究では、植物生理学と光工学を組み合わせた工農連携によって、この技術を応用し、有用な特徴を自在にフィールドの植物に反映させるシステムの構築を目指す。

Construction of perovskite based electrochemical sensor for the detection of nutrients

紹介文

Nutrients are an essential part of a balanced, active lifestyle in our body, and it is necessary to develop a rapid, sensitive, selective and reliable multifunctional sensor for the screening of nutrients. Electrochemical sensors are proven to be very selective, sensitive for the determination of nutrients. On the other hand, perovskite types of transition metal and alkaline earth metal-based catalyst have been received an attention due to their unique properties. Furthermore, the bimetal-based nanocomposite is more attention the electro catalyst due to their electrocatalytic ability. Therefore, we aim is to fabricate the carbon-based perovskite electrocatalyst as robust electrochemical sensor for the determination of amino acids.

Mechanism of DNA damage-triggered stem cell formation

紹介文

DNA damage is a threat to cells, especially stem cells. However, we found that DNA damage can trigger the reprogramming of leaf cells into stem cells without cell death in moss. Based on our single-cell transcriptome data, we will identify key genes and their regulatory networks involved in this process. We will also examine the universality of DNA damage triggered reprogramming in other organisms.
