In order to maintain and further improve plant productivity (growth) under extreme weather conditions and under difficult growing conditions, we are working to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms related to stress tolerance in plants using model plants. Based on the knowledge obtained here, we are developing technologies to apply to more practical plants.
