The main themes of this laboratory are the creation of large, blue, regular-flowered Phalaenopsis orchids, the development of building greening materials through moss culture, and the analysis of high-frequency somatic enbryogenesis systems from carrot cotyledons. For example, with the aim of producing unprecedented large blue flowers in Phalaenopsis orchilds, we are conducting research into changing flower color by modifying the gene that alters the pH of large-flowering varieties using genetic analysis and introduction techniques. We also conduct research on a wide range of plants, including chamomile, bittersweet, duckweed, and violets.
