研究実績の概要 |
The PI could image flower petals of D. grayii, P. serrulata, and Leucanthemum by 3D fluorescence microscopy. In cooperation with Optoline Inc, Japan, the PI could show the incorporation of fluorescent dye into intercellular spaces. The PI could prepare porous polymer films of fluorinated polymers with 10 um thickness that scatter light. When immersed in water, they turn transparent. The Co-I has measured the refractive index change of these films. The CR has grown D. grayii in a climate chamber at his Institute.

理由
Last year we have faced a lack of research capabilities because of the global Covid-19 outbreak. A planned meeting with the CR has been postponed indefinitely. Also in the last year of the research term SEM imaging and other experiments using flower petals cannot be done, because the flowering season overlaps with lockdown measures at the university and other research facilities, including those at Optoline Inc.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The Co-I will continue to measure refractive index. PI is in online contact with the CR and we will continue to design and carry out new experiments, as good as the situation allows.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
International and domestic travel was severly restricted due to Covid-19. The amount will be used to purchase research equipment and expendables, such as chemicals and so on.
