| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the mechanism of relative growth of organisms. In particular, we focused on (i) the identification of new factors that interact with the universal growth-regulating transcription factor Yki, (ii) construction of systems that quantify the strength of the activities of the growth-controlling microRNA bantam and the insulin / IGF signals in tissues and (iii) the functional study of imaginal disc growth factors (IDGFs), which are supposed to interact with the insulin / insulin-like growth factors and regulate imaginal disc proliferation.
