Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand the mechanisms of living organisms at the cellular and molecular level is one of the most important issues in modern biology. In this study, we have developed several types of microsystems utilizing the physics at the nano- micro- scale. Concequently, we have succeeded in measuring and quantifying a number of phenomena a the cellar and molecular level involved in plants which could not otherwise been observed. The results obtained by this research provide not only the improtant biological findings but also the clues for overcoming food, environmental and evergy problems, with industrial and societal impacts.
