Background, Purpose, and Project Achievements
Analyzing plants in natural complex environments became critical for understanding and predicting plant responses against global environmental changes. We required establishments of standardized research sites in which recent molecular techniques are applicable. In this project, Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University set up an international transplantation site by collaborating with University of Zurich, University of Bristol and University of Tsukuba.
Future Prospects
We further enhance international collaboration and will develop Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University into an international hub of plant study in natural environments.
