A variety of initiatives are underway to build a sustainable society. In this context, expectations for the improvement of productivity and effective utilization of plant-derived biomass, such as wood, have been increasing. In the Laboratory of Plant Metabolic Control, we are mainly interested in the mechanisms, physical properties, and mechanical properties of woody biomass production control and their practical applications to plants and structural buildings.
