Introduction
<Food Science>
Active components of rice varieties that are less likely to cause allergic symptoms
<Plant Science>
Mechanism of shoot re-differentiation in Arabidopsis and azuki. Aiming for applications in transformation and genome editing.
List of current research topics
- Research on the molecular structure of rice allergy symptom-reducing components.
- Studies on shoot re-differentiation in azuki
- Relationship between loss of shoot re-differentiation potential and DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
