Study abstract
Biomembranes are essential for multiple cellular activities including cell shape, cell polarity, vesicletransport, and organelle functions. In the plasma membrane, phospholipids are asymmetrically
distributed across bilayer leaflets. This phospholipid asymmetry is conserved from yeast to
mammalian cells. Flippases
are type 4 P-type ATPases
that play an essential rolein generating phospholipid
asymmetry. The aim of ourlaboratory is to elucidate thephysiological significanceof phospholipid asymmetryby using yeast as a modelorganism.

Study abstract
We use plants to investigate molecular mechanisms of their development, environmental resistanceand evolution. We aim to unlock the secrets of plant cells and to understand how plants control their
growth, differentiation and adaptation from an evolutionary view point. To this end, we use basal
land plants such as Physcomitrium patens (a moss), Marchantia polymorpha (a liverwort), andArabidopsis thaliana (a flowering plant) as our model plants. Our research topics are as follows: 1) To
unveil molecular mechanisms ofcell proliferation, differentiation,
regeneration and totipotency inplant cells. 2) To uncover the
crosstalk between environmental
responses and developmental
programs – then, aiming todevelop plants that grow welleven in extreme environments. 3)
To understand the evolutionary
road map of multicellulalizationin land plants. 4) To understandhow plants can grow or adapt
even under extrem environmental
conditions such as in theouterspace.

Plants are commonly considered as inanimate and “still life”
objects, however, we are simply limited in our abilities todirectly sense their movement in our temporal sense. Uponclose inspection with time-lapsed photography, it becomes
evident that plants are very animated as revealed by theirdynamic movements and developments. The plant hormone“Auxin” has a central functional role in plant morphogenesis.
The main focus of this laboratory pertains to the study of“Early-Auxin Inducible Genes” and to investigate the functionalroles of auxin in the synthesis of new organs (Organogenesis).
We primarily utilize Arabidopsis as a functional model systemfor both forward and reverse genetics. In addition, we also use
both potato and carrot as additional models.

Study abstract
Gene expressions and transposon activations are affectedby environmental stress. In nature, high copy numbers oftransposons are conserved in many species. This may imply
that transposons have been activated by environmental
stress and changed the genome structure of a host genome.
Sometimes the mutation promotes genome evolution andgene diversity that can adapt in a new environment. We study
the effects of environmental stress in plants. We focus on theregulatory mechanisms of stress-activated transposons andanalyze the relationships between the transposons and thehost genome. Most of the transposons are silenced becauseof their methylated DNA and histone modifications. However,under specific conditions, transposons can be activated andtransposed. Our interest is to understand how environment
affects transposon activation in nature.

adaptation strategies against “nutrient stress” and “pathogen attack (plant immunity)”, which have agreat impact on plant growth and productivity. In addition to physiological analyses, we also performgenetics, cell biology and biochemical analyses to elucidate the function of key signaling proteins andmetabolic enzymes.

Study abstract
Research in gene expression control has been conductedusing various species. Initially studies in the field are on
the aspects of transcriptional control but in recent decades,
focus has now expanded to post-transcriptional control suchas discovery of functional RNA molecules which include
ribozymes, riboswitches, and small RNAs. In addition,
researches on gene expression control has now changed fromanalyzing individual control step to clarify how the control ofeach step is coordinated. Due to their sessile lifestyle, plants
must respond quickly when being challenged by various
environmental stresses in order to survive in unfavorable
environments. We want to clarify how gene expression control,
particularly post-transcriptional control, is related to theenvironmental responses in plants, and how multiple control
steps are coordinated at the molecular level.

When animals receive sensory stimuli from environment,
they perform appropriate behaviors via sensory perception
and motor planning that is mediated by their central nervous
system. By using a combination of behavioral analyses,
electrophysiology, optical imaging and mathematical
approaches, we study the neural basis underlying wind-elicited
behavior in the cricket model system. The ultimate goal of ourresearch is to generate a complete understanding of whole
neural circuits and information processing from sensory inputs
to motor output in specific behaviors.

Our research incorporates both mechanistic and functional
approaches to address the question why living things showsuch a great diversity in behaviors and their underlying
cognitive functions. We focus primarily on the functional
aspects of these behaviors by investigating the behavioral
ecology of passerine birds (mainly Estrildid finches) witha particular interest in social communication; including
courtships and parent-offspring interactions, reproduction,
development and life history.

Study abstract(Wada group) Animal behavior is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. However,much remains to be learned regarding how and when the environmental and genetic factors act andhow developing behavior itself affects the molecular basis in the neuronal substitute. The primary
focus of our laboratory is to elucidate these questions by using songbirds as an animal model for
vocal learning and to identify its critical period at molecular and genetic levels.
(Patzke group) The main research question of our laboratory is: How did the mammalian brain
evolve? Explicitly we want to determine the strength of environmental influence on the evolution of
the mammalian brain, by investigating aquatic mammals, (whale and pinnipeds), in comparison to thecloses land living
relatives (eventoed ungulates
and carnivores).
Especially we areinterested in, if andhow an aquatic
lifestyle leads topredictable changes
in the morphologyof the mammalianbrain.

The aim of our research is to elucidate the neuronalmechanism underlying real-time adaptability in animal
behavior. To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms,
we have focused on aggressive behavior and locomotion
behavior in invertebrate animals in particular insects.
Aggression and locomotion are common behaviors in virtual
animals and can be the experimental models to investigate theneuronal mechanisms underlying adaptive behaviors. Since
insects possess rather simple and identical nervous systems,
they provide us with an ideal model system to effectively
investigate the neuronal mechanisms of adaptive behavior.

inputs, and how this processing is modulated by a specific environment or by the mental state or thecondition of the body. The answers to these questions would reveal how an animal displays adaptive
behavior in response to a given situation that changes every moment, or even develops intelligent
behavior to cope with a difficult situation. To study these problems in our laboratory, we are utilizing two
invertebrate animals, the fly and the cephalopod.
(Nishino group) The aim of our research is to elucidate neuronal mechanisms underlying sensory
processing of five senses in pest insects with the use of fine neuroanatomy and physiologies. We also
promote implementation of species-specific sensory processing to environment-friendly pest control.

The fate of a multicellular organism begins with a single cell
fertilized egg that subsequently undergoes differentiation andmorphogenesis to become an embryo. All cellular functions
and patterning decisions that occur prior to the activation of
the zygotic genome depend on maternal factors depositedin the egg during oogenesis, which become active after
fertilization. By using zebrafish and mouse as model systems,
we investigate the deposition of maternal factors in oocytesthat promote developmental processes. Our aim is to identify
novel mechanisms of oogenesis and developmental processes
