Research Interest
| Research Field | Plant molecular genetics |
|---|---|
| Research Summary | I'm working on molecular genetics of rice. Rice is a staple food for half of the world population. To dissolve world food shortage, I'm challenging to produce high-yielding rice variety by using both recent genetic technologies and traditional breeding techniques. |
