Course in Molecular Biology

In this course, we conduct research and education spanning various fields, including molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. Our study organisms span a wide spectrum, including plants (herbs, trees, algae), bacteria, fungi, and animals (mammals, insects). We are committed to cutting-edge research in diverse topics, such as (1) utilization techniques for plant growth-promoting microorganisms, (2) plant mineral transport, (3) function of plant seeds, (4) photosynthesis and environmental responses in evergreen trees and algae, (5) decomposition of trees using wood-decaying fungi, (6) the physiology, ecology, and evolution of microorganisms, (7) metagenome of microorganisms, (8) insect defense mechanisms, and (9) the molecular mechanisms of mammalian hibernation.
