| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chloroplast is an major organelle of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts move in a cell response to light. Light-induced chloroplast movement enhances plant biomass production in herbaceous plants. In this study, I focus on the conifer trees, and investigated to enhance their plant biomass by altering chloroplast movement. Consequently, I found that plant biomass of seedlings in Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa was increased with changing chloroplast intercellular localization.
