Biochemical Collaboration on Bilogical Resources in South America

在我们的研究项目的第三年，我们试图开展未来对南美洲本土动植物的联合研究。名古屋大学的小川和谷口和罗萨里奥大学的吉伯特互访并交流了信息，小川和谷口与罗萨里奥大学的植物研究人员讨论了起源于南美洲的草用或食用C4植物的研究现状。他们发现，罗萨里奥大学的研究人员一直在广泛研究，从活性和基因表达水平上阐明C_4光合作用蛋白质合成的调节机制。他们的结论是，未来两个机构将在分子生物学水平上计划在这些领域进行一些合作研究。此外，小川和谷口向罗萨里奥大学的研究人员介绍了名古屋大学目前的研究情况，并讨论了未来的合作研究。Guibert在名古屋大学举办了一个关于动物细胞冷冻保存的研讨会。他还与名古屋大学主要的动物研究人员交流了当前研究的信息，并热切地讨论了未来的合作研究。

In the 3rd year of our research project, we attempted to develop the future joint researches on native plants and animals of South America. Ogawa and Taniguchi from Nagoya University and Guibert from Rosario University visited to each partner and exchanged their informations each other.Ogawa and Taniguchi discussed about current researches on C_4 plants, which were originated from South America and were useful for grass or food, with plant researchers of Rosario University. They found researchers at Rosario University have been studying extensively to elucidate regulatory mechanisms of C_4 photosynthetic-proteins synthesis at both their activity and gene expression levels. They have concluded that some collaborative researches in these areas at molecular biological levels will be planned between the two institutions in future. Moreover, Ogawa and Taniguchi introduced current researches at Nagaya University to researchers of Rosario University and discussed what a future collaborative research should be.Guibert had a seminar on freeze-storing of animal cells at Nagoya University. He also exchanged the in formation on current researches with mainly animal researchers of Nagoya University and discussed avidly future collaborative researches.
