Areas of specialization Agriculture, Crop Science, Plant Morphology
Laboratory/research office Lab. of Plant Functional Morphology
Plants exhibit a wide variety of forms and functions, although they have a basic tissue structure in common. We carefully observe the microstructure of plant tissues and cells using optical microscopes, electron microscopes, and X-ray CT in our work to elucidate the shapes related to photosynthetic ability and stress resistance. Especially, we are working to develop and improve new observation techniques, such as three-dimensional reconstruction methods for capturing objects as 3D shapes rather than 2D planar images, aiming to discover as yet unknown structures of plants.
