I’ve studied plant-microbe interaction (i.e. between plant and fungi or plant parasitic nematode) so far. My favorite is cyst nematode! Now, I am newly studying about parasitic plant as well.

Assistant Professor Takanori Wakatake

Takanori Wakatake

I did my master's and doctoral thesis in the group of Ken Shirasu at RIKEN, working on the development of haustorium in the parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum. After that, I moved to Würzburg in Germany to study the evolution of carnivorous plants. Then I returned to Japan and learned genomics for one year at NARO genetic resource research center using wild Vigna species. Now I restarted research on Orobanchaceae parasitic plants at NAIST as an assistant professor.
