Both established by visionary man, William Boyce Thompson (BTI, 1924) and Magosaburo Ohara (IPSR, 1914), it is our common idea that we should extend their great visions for humanity and future for everyone by cultivating better plants that will feed the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/1.-Ithaca-panorama.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nMorning panorama of winther Ithaca town<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/2.-Building-BTI.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nBTI for Plant Research building on the Cornell University campus<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/3.-BTI-entrance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"484\" \/><br \/>\nIzumi Mori at the entrance of BTI for Plant Research<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/4.-Lobby-BTI.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nBTI for Plant Research entrance lobby with founder\u2019s portrait<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our continuous effort to promote international research at IPSR, we aim to develop closer ties with the world-leading institutes in plant research.
