NIG Nonomura Lab

Plant Reproduction Researches

Reproduction is very important biological event giving a basis of genetics and breeding. Our lab studies on plant reproduction and development using a monocotyledonous model plant, rice.

Rice Resource Project（NBRP）

We act as a germplasm center of rice resources sponsored by National Bioresource Project (NBRP) Rice.
