Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the intracellular structure-labeled transformed plants and imaging-quantitative analysis techniques have been developed. The cell morphogenesis and dynamics of the intracellular structures were analyzed by the image processing. The following four items were performed. (1) imaging-quantitative analysis of leaf epidermal cells, (2) analysis of artificial deformation and cell morphology in leaf epidermal cell wall, (3) analysis of the change in plant cell morphogenesis by high CO2 and UV-B treatments, (4) development of imaging-quantitative analysis techniques. Finally, a number of important knowledges, obtained for each item, have been published in many papers.
