Everyday, I wonder about the meanings of a variety of plant forms through experiments and observations. When I discuss it with other members of the lab, the possibilities of the morphological meanings expand enormously. When I'm trying to find the right answer, even if it is hard, it is the most pleasant time for me.Unexplored frontiers of biology await youIn the biology section of this department, we conduct a wide range of research on various life forms in macroscopic views with rich natural environment backgrounds or in microscopic views of cells and molecules.How has mutualism between species evolved? We research evolution through interaction between animal species or between plant and animal species, using samples of bees, ants, and angiosperms.Tackling the evolution of interaction between speciesIt is considered that vegetation in the cold-climate alpine zone is an ecological system vulnerable to the impact of global warming. We assess the global warming impact on vegetation and investigate the formation mechanism of plant community structures.Investigating effects of global warming on ecologyCan left-right reversed life forms evolve? Species can retain their genetic diversity because they breed by themselves and do not crossbreed with other species. We investigate the evolutionary and speciational mechanism of mirror-image formsWhys and hows in ecological evolution and speciationTakahiro Asami, ProfessorEvolutionary BiologyResearch on evolutionary mechanism of genetic variations found in forms, color, ecology, and behaviors of wild groups of speciesNaoki Shibata, Associate ProfessorReproductive BiologyResearch on artificial manipulation of sex change, secondary sex characteristics, and breeding color in vertebratesYasuo Itoh, Associate ProfessorMolecular Genetics and Chromosome EngineeringInvestigation of phenomena occurring on cell membranes and chromosomes during genetic transformation in fungiMichio Imazu, Associate ProfessorMycology and Plant PathologyResearch on taxonomy and ecology of plant-parasitic fungi, especially rust fungiKojiro Takanashi, Assistant ProfessorSymbiosis Molecular Biology, Plant BiochemistryComprehensive study on plant-microbe interaction.
