Molecular genetics, phytogeography, and biosystematic studies for alpine flora of the Himalayas

为了弄清喜马拉雅山高山植物的多样性，我们派出了六个植物学研究小组（四个到尼泊尔，两个到中国）收集材料，并对它们进行分析。因此，我们从分类学、木材解剖学、分子生物学或植物地理学等领域获得了许多有趣的发现。我们已经在科学期刊上发表了40篇论文，在各种会议上发表了24篇报告，并出版了6本书。此外，我们还举办了两次关于喜马拉雅高山植物多样性的公开研讨会，一次在日本，另一次在英国苏格兰。

For clarifying the diversity of alpine plants in the Himalayas, we dispatched six botanical research teams (four to Nepal and two to China) to collect materials, and analyzed them. As a result, we have gotten many interesting findings from the fields of taxonomy, wood anatomy, and molecular biology or phylogeography. We have published the results by 40 papers in scientidfic journals, 24 presentations at various conferences, and 6 books. Moreover, we held two public symposia on diversity of the Himalayan alpine plants, one in Japan, and another in Scotland, UK.
