Academic Degree
Ph.D
Field of Specialization
Plant Science, Plant Nutrition
Outline Activities
I conduct education of plant nutrition and the related subject to graduate and undergraduate students. I conduct the research about the molecular machinery of sulfate uptake, sulfur assimilation and sulfur metabolism in plants. Social activities through research and education are conducted.
