| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, I analyzed the history of genetics and breeding studies in postwar Japan, in particular aiming to understand ideas of Japan’s “own” science (as geneticists of the time had understood it). I revealed a case of conflict between Japanese geneticists and officials of the International Union of Biological Sciences, on the organization of a program for International Genetics Symposia that Japanese geneticists hosted in 1956. Many geneticists in Japan at the time focused on a particular organism to deepen the understanding of that organism; on the other hand, many geneticists abroad like IUBS officials focused on a particular scientific problem. This difference in the research style is caused by a relation between genetic research and breeding studies. For the social and cultural meaning of such a difference, a further study is required.
