Activities of our group (Research purpose and expected achivements)



  • Production of drought and salinity tolerant crops by molecular breeding
  • Evaluation of stress tolerant crops
  • Transfer of genes related to drought and/or salinity stresses to crops by transformation techniques
  • Transfer of far-related chromosome segments to wheat or other crops by wide hybridization techniques
  • Isolation of novel genetic and physiological factors related to drought and/or salinity stresses





Research achivements

  • Screening and evaluation of draught tolerant wheat




  • Production of drought tolerant transgenic what by particle bombardment
