MPK4-CELL CYCLE REGULATION
Cell division is the most fundamental process in every living organism. We explore novel players in cell cycle regulation and decipher the underlying molecular mechanisms. The knowledge will contribute to developing tools to control crop size as well as human diseases such as cancer.

MPK3/6-CELL TYPE PATTERNING
Obtaining a specific cellular identity is a key developmental process in multicellular organisms. We elucidate signaling mechanisms in detail to contribute to our understanding of higher organisms’ development.
