Materials

We are mainly using model organisms. In higher plants, we use Arabidopsis thaliana is a representative organisms. We also using green algae Chlamydomonas and photosynthetic bacteria.

Objectives

Objectives

Chloroplasts which originate from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria is not only site of photosynthesis, but also involved in various metabolisms. Chloroplast biogenesis is our main research objective.

Method

Method

Our researches are base on molecular biological and genetical approaches. By physiological aspects, regulatory mechanisms of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis are studied for clarify chloroplast biogenesis.
