14:00-17:00, March 28 (Wednesday), 2018
Room A
Organizers: Seisuke Kimura (Kyoto Sangyo Univ.), Taiyo Toriba (Tohoku Univ.)
There are about 300,000 of known/recorded plant species and these plants are adapted to a variety of environments on earth. In the long history of evolution, some plants have diversified their developmental processes and regulated them for adaptation.
In recent years, the rapid progress of molecular biological techniques, such as next-generation sequencing, has enabled us to investigate non-model plant species at the molecular level. It is expected that recent research would accelerate the elucidation of novel biological phenomena and plant evolution.
