Recent Activities
- We are conducting research on new UV-B defense and tolerance mechanisms in plants that cannot repair UV-B induced DNA damage (cyclobutene pyrimidine dimer [CPD]) on chloroplast DNA, the mechanism of organelle transfer of CPD repair enzyme, CPD photolyase, the function of the rice UV-B photoreceptor UVR8, the mechanism of CPD light-recovery enzyme gene light expression that has changed during evolution, and the mechanism of plant adaptation to complex environments under heterogeneous conditions. We are also developing research on the mechanism of adaptation of plants to complex environments in heterogeneous environments.
- Based on our past research achievements, we are now analyzing the combined effects of solar ultraviolet radiation in microgravity environments through a space experiment (Plant UV-B) using the International Space Station (ISS) to analyze the response of plants to microgravity and high UV environmental stress in space.
