Bringing Flowers and Fruits - Research on Florigen

We are studying florigen, the strongest determining factor for plants to produce flower buds.

We are conducting research aimed at elucidating the molecular function of florigen, the strongest determinant of flower formation, and its application in plant improvement. Based on cutting-edge research techniques in life sciences, we aim to observe phenomena that have never been seen before. Through our study of florigen, we will advance research that opens new frontiers in the field of life sciences.
