横浜市立大学舞岡キャンパス木原生物学研究所植物遺伝資源部門では主にコムギやトウガラシなどの遺伝資源についての研究を行っております。

Plant Genetic Resources for the future

Capsicum team

Our team performed capsicum genetic resources, is conserved in KIBR, increasing and management. We have huge accession of Capsicum L. (400 accessions). These were collected from Latin America in 30 years ago. But unfortunately, we cannot perfectly take advantage of their superiority yet. So we organize capsicum’s information and construct database to utilize these interesting genetic resources.

Afhgan Wheat Landraces team

Huge world population dependent on wheat as a staple food, the grain provides the majority of dietary nutrients to billions of people. But unfortunately, wheat grains are lack of micronuutrient and EAA and some other nutrient. So we are now researching for new good variety.
