| 研究実績の概要 |
Firstly, I have optimized the plant growth conditions and the microscope settings for live imaging to reveal the spatiotemporal dynamics of hormone signaling levels and key gene expressions.
Secondly, to test whether internalization of BRL3-BR plays a physiologically relevant role in the transient activation of replenishing cell division that enables proper cellular organization in the regenerated tissues, I have generated an internalization-deficient version of BRL3. I have managed to monitor and evaluate the endocytosis activity of the mutated version of BRL3.
Thirdly, to explore whether the BRL3-centered regulatory network can be applied to tissue regeneration processes in general, I have developed a novel method to induce specific cell death in the root meristem. I have verified the cell killing specificity and efficiency of this system. I have also optimized the induction condition of this system.

理由
In this year, I have generated the endocytosis deficient version of BRL3 and have performed preliminary experiment on the endocytosis behavior of wid-type and mutated BRL3 protein.
As a modification of my original plan, I have also developed a novel method to induce cell death in specific cell types in the root meristem. Such system shall facilitate the evaluation of the BRL3-centered regulatory network in more general tissue regeneration scenarios. However, the completion of planned experiments using the cell death induction system takes time because plant lines transformation and crossing are time-consuming

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Due to the delay and changes of my original research plan, I have applied one year extension of the period of this research project. In the year 2024, I will first complete the phenotypical analysis of the transgenic lines carrying endocytosis deficient BRL3. Then I will focus on testing the roles of BRL3 and its upstream- and downstream-factors in the tissue regeneration processes triggered by cell death in various specific cell types. These work will help to elucidate how replenishing cell divisions are transiently activated to ensure the proper cellular organization in the regenerated tissues.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
Due to the adjustments in the priorities of the planned experiments, the article cost and personnel expenditure of the second year was lower than planned. The postponed or modified experiments and research activities will be nevertheless carried out in the next year. Therefore I would like to request to use the incurring amount in the next fiscal year.
