Associate ProfessorI am engaged in research aimed at studying the intracellular structure of plants. Particularly, I am focusing on lipid droplets, which serve as organelles responsible for lipid storage. The primary objectives of my research are twofold: firstly, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the significance of lipid storage in plants, and secondly, to make valuable contributions towards enhancing the production of plant lipids as a valuable food resource.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・In plants, oil droplets are found in leaves. Under what conditions do lipid droplets accumulate?
・What proteins are present in lipid droplets?
・What is the significance of plants having lipid droplets?

Associate ProfessorI study fungi that parasitize plants and cause disease. The mechanisms by which these fungi induce disease in plants are still not well understood. By elucidating these processes and gaining deeper insight into the biology of the fungi, I aim to develop disease control strategies that do not rely solely on pesticides—or that enable more effective and targeted use of them. Through research on plant diseases, I also hope to better understand the complex interactions among microorganisms, plants, and the environment.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Phytobiome, Biological interactions, Ecological control, Biological control
