RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science Bioproductivity Informatics Research Team
Team Leader: Keiichi Mochida (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
Our team aims to develop plants with improvements in the quantitative and qualitative productivity of cellulosic biomass. By using model grass, we carry out gene discovery to improve biomass productivity and adaptively to environmental changes in plants. Furthermore, we are promoting applied researches for plants for biomass resources in collaboration with universities and institutes.
