3SJA Understanding the Principles of the Adaptation of Photosynthesis to Diverse Environments
Thu. Nov 16, 2023 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Room J (Conference Room 141+142 (Bldg. 1, 4F))
Organizers: Hirose Yuu (Toyohashi Univ. of Tech.)、Kurisu Genji (Osaka Univ.)
共催:学術変革領域研究(A)「光合成ユビキティ」
Photosynthetic organisms synthesize organic compounds from water and carbon dioxides using solar energy. They adapted and expanded over a wide range of environments and sustain all living organisms on Earth. The structure and function of photosynthetic apparatus change dynamically in response to environmental conditions. In 2023, researchers from structural biology, plant physiology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics have teamed up to launch a new research project, "Photosynthetic Ubiquity", which is supported by Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas (A) from JSPS. In this symposium, the members of this project will discuss approaches to elucidate the molecular principles of adaptation of photosynthetic supramolecular complexes to diverse environments.
