Stress Responses of Photosynthetic Organisms

在过去四年中，即1992-1995财政年度，“光合生物的压力反应”研究领域作为优先领域得到了教育、科学、体育和文化部的财政支助。本课题研究由国立基础生物学研究所教授村田博士主持.研究的重点是光合生物对特定环境变量（如光、活性氧、温度、干旱、离子、营养等）的反应的分子生物学分析。通过这种广泛的调查，在建立光合生物对环境约束的胁迫反应的遗传背景方面取得了相当大的进展。本研究的主要目的是对本次合作研究进行总结，并与科学界进行交流，探讨未来的研究方向。具体成果如下：讨论并总结了本项目研究所取得的成果。(2)出版了约400篇研究基金支持的论文集，共4卷，并分发给世界上该研究领域的科学家。(3)编辑的评论文章“光合有机体的应激反应”（K.Satoh和N.Murata编辑），将由Elsevier Science Publishers B. V.出版。（阿姆斯特丹）。(4)申请公共演讲的补助金，“大学与科学”。

During past four years, 1992-1995 fiscal years, the research area "Stress Responses of Photosynthetic Organisms" was the subject of financial support from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, as a priority area. Dr.Murata, Professor of National Institute for Basic Biology, organized this project research. The research was focused on molecular biological analysis of the responses of photosynthetic organisms to the specific environmental variables, such as light, active oxygen species, temperature, drought, ions, nutrients etc.. Through this extensive investigation, considerable advances have been achieved in establishing the genetic background of the stress responses of photosynthetic organisms to the environmental constraints. The results of investigation were published in 370 original papers and 34 reviews.The purpose of present research was to summarize this collaborative investigation, to communicate the results to scientific communities and to discuss about future perspectives.Followings are the concrete achievements :Discussed and summarized the achievement attained by this project research.(2) Published collected papers supported by the research grant of about 400 into 4 volumes and distributed them to the scientists in this research field in the world.(3) Compiled review articles as "Stress Responses of Photosynthetic Oeganisms (eds.K.Satoh and N.Murata), to be published by Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.(Amsterdam).(4) Applied to the grant for a public lecture, "University and Science".
