Data and AI-driven plant breeding: towards sustainable agriculture［JP］
I conduct research aimed at improving the efficiency of crop breeding to realize sustainable agriculture. By integrating genomic information with data science, I am developing methods to create new varieties more quickly and more reliably. In addition, I pursue a wide range of studies in data-driven breeding, including breeding approaches that utilize interactions between plants and microbes or a…
Bamboo that measures time: Research into the flowering cycle of bamboo, A century-old challenge and the future［JP］
Bamboo possesses a unique life history, flowering only once every several decades. I am conducting research to elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying this periodic flowering. Furthermore, in recent years, bamboo utilization has declined, leading to the problem of abandoned bamboo forests. By studying bamboo ecology, including its rhizomes, I aim to contribute to suppressing the expansion of …
Creating a sustainable future for livestock farming through animal science and veterinary medicine［JP］
We are researching the mechanisms of reproductive function and reproductive disorders in mammals. We are elucidating the endocrine mechanisms that control ovarian and testicular function, and exploring the causative genes of congenital reproductive disorders that reduce fertility in cattle, with the hope of improving the reproductive efficiency of livestock. NOTE: - This lecture was conduct…
A new wave of food research［JP］
Food valence is innately determined, but we focus on how dietary experiences can alter it. We conduct neuroscientific research to understand the mechanisms for the regulation of food valence based on eating experiences, and how eating behaviors are psychologically controlled based on food valence. We are also advancing research to understand the mechanisms by which nutrients regulate brain functi…
