NU-UCB Cooperative Program in Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

作为名古屋大学和加州大学伯克利分校双边研究项目“植物生物化学和分子生物学合作项目”的延续，在第三（最后）财政年度完成了以下活动：1992年11月，Tatsuo Sugiyama访问了加州大学伯克利分校，并与那里的科学家Bob Buchanan交换了意见，讨论了未来可能的合作研究。William Gruissem， Terry Chapin等人。B. Buchanan和T. Chapin对杉山课题组最近提出的c4 -光合作用基因的表达受谷氨酰胺作为诱导剂选择性控制以响应n -有效性的新概念表示了浓厚的兴趣，并同意与杉山课题组就胁迫生物化学进行合作研究。Buchanan现在已经研究了2种不同类型的玉米叶片原生质体中硫氧还毒素的细胞间和细胞内定位，这是由Sugiyama的小组提供的。1993年3月，Yozuru Takade访问UCB，与Gruissem就前质体dna的复制起源进行了交流。格鲁西姆和B.布坎南分别于8月至9月和9月访问了纽大。Gruissem与Masahiro Sugiura就叶绿体中mRNA稳定蛋白的表征和表达进行了交流，并讨论了未来可能的合作研究。B. Buchanan就光合作用和新技术进行了交流，引起了北大食品科学家和计划科学家的浓厚兴趣，并与北大植物科学家讨论了未来可能的合作研究。

As a continuation of bilateral research project between Nagoya University and University of California-Berkeley entitled "NU-UCB Cooperative Program in Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology", the following activities were achieved during the third (final) fiscal year :Tatsuo Sugiyama made a visit to UCB in November 1992 and exchanged ideas and discussed possible future collaborative research with scientists there : Bob Buchanan. William Gruissem, Terry Chapin, and others. In connection with recent progress of research by Sugiyama's group on a new concept that the expression of C4-photosynthesis genes is selectively controlled by glutamine as an inducer in responding to N-availability, B. Buchanan and T. Chapin showed a strong interest and agreed to have collaborative research with Sugiyama's group on stress biochemistry.B. Buchanan have being now examined the inter-and intra-cellular localization of thioredoxins in 2 different types of protoplasts from maize leaf, which were provide by Sugiyama's group. Yozuru Takade made a visit to UCB in March, 1993 and exchanged ideas with Gruissem on the replication origin of proplastid DNA.W. Gruissem and B. Buchanan made a visit to NU in August through September and September, respectively. Gruissem exchanged ideas and discussed possible future collaborative research with Masahiro Sugiura on the characterization and expression of mRNA stabilizing proteins in chloroplast. B. Buchanan exchanged ideas on photosynthesis and new technology, giving a strong interest to food scientists well as plan scientists of NU, and discussed with NU-plant scientists for possible future collaborative rsearch.
