During my stay in Okayama University, I studied in University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA ( 11/93-12/94 and 1/96-2/96), and in University of California, San Diego, CA, USA, (2/96-3/96), supported by the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan.
Research Interests (Key words)
Aquaporins; CO2
transport; Plant cellular and molecular responses to the environmental stress;
Plant ion transport; Plant water transport; Root structure and function; Salt
stress and salt tolerance in plants;
Aquaporins
Aquaporins facilitate
water transport across biomembranes. The discovery (1992 in erythrocyte and
1993 in plants) of aquaporins has facilitated research on intracellular and
whole-plant water transport at the molecular level. I and collaborators
identified and analyzed many aquaporin genes in barley. We also showed some
aquaporins permeate carbon-dioxide in addition to water.
