On Thursday 15 October, a farewell party was held for Nakano (D2), who is due to embark on a three-month short-term study programme in Denmark starting on 18 October.
発表タイトルは「Identification of host plant gene involved in the suppression of rhizobial infection triggered by the type III effector NopF」で、マメ科植物(ミヤコグサ)は特定の根粒菌のIII型エフェクタータンパク質を認識して、根粒菌の感染を抑制するのですが、それに関わるマメ科宿主の遺伝子を同定した内容です。 おめでとうございます!!
Assistant Professor Hashimoto-san attended the 7th Asian Conference on Nitrogen Fixation & the 25th National Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation (The Conference on Plant Microbiology Research in China), held at Shanxi Agricultural University in China from 9 to 12 October 2026, and won the poster award!
The poster title is “Identification of host plant gene involved in the suppression of rhizobial infection triggered by the type III effector NopF“. Legumes (Lotus japonicus) recognise Type III effector proteins produced by specific rhizobia and thereby suppress rhizobial infection; this study identifies the genes in the legume host involved in this process. Congratulations!!
We attended the 35th annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Plant Microbe Interactions, held at Kochi University from Thursday 24 September to Saturday 26 September 2026.
Here are some photos of the poster and oral presentations.
Sakurai-san won the Student Poster Award! Congratulations!
Nakano-san (D2) and Nozawa-san (D1) gave poster presentations at the 90th Annual Meeting of the Botanical Society of Japan, held at the Noda Campus of Tokyo University of Science from 4 to 6 September. Good Jobs!
On 18–19 May, Banba-sensei from Shizuoka University visited us with his group of students. This is part of a joint research project using our Kashimadai experimental field.
To mark this occasion, a social gathering was held at the Date-han Nagaya Sake Bar on the evening of the 18th. The food and drink were absolutely delicious.
We look forward to working with you in the future. Let’s all enjoy our research together!
