Talk Title:

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Low-Temperature Plasma Treatment on the Transposon Activation in Rice

About the Speaker

Dr. Kazuo Tsugane is an Assistant Professor at the National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB) in Japan. His work primarily focuses on the dynamics of genomes and the regulation of gene expression through DNA transposons, particularly in rice. Dr. Tsugane has made significant contributions to understanding how transposons, such as nDart1, influence genome reorganization and gene expression. His research also explores the preservation of biological resources under low-temperature conditions.
