Research Core for Future Crops
This research core includes the (1) Innovative research group and (2) International
collaboration group. The objectives of this core are to exploit new research topics that
are expected to be important in the near future and to advance future-oriented studies in
plant stress science. Collaboration with Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and
Technology (Kenya, eastern Africa) will be promoted toward an ultimate goal to enable
crop production in stressful conditions.
Innovative research group
The aim of this research group is to examine specific stress factors that are predicted
in the near future. To that end, interdisciplinary and international collaboration studies
are performed.
International collaboration group
The aim of this research group is to analyze the current status of the global
environmental stress and to investigate plant stress resistance for increasing future crop
productivity.
