Biochemical Collaboration on Bilogical Resources in South America

在我们的研究项目的第三年，我们试图发展未来对南美本土动植物的联合研究。名古屋大学的小川和谷口以及罗萨里奥大学的吉伯特分别拜访了合作伙伴，并交换了信息。Ogawa和Taniguchi与Rosario大学的植物研究人员讨论了目前关于C_4植物的研究现状，这些植物原产于南美洲，可用于草或食物。他们发现，罗萨里奥大学的研究人员一直在进行广泛的研究，以阐明C_4光合作用蛋白合成在活性和基因表达水平上的调节机制。他们的结论是，未来两所机构将计划在这些领域的分子生物学水平上进行一些合作研究。此外，Ogawa和Taniguchi向Rosario大学的研究人员介绍了长屋大学的研究现状，并讨论了未来的合作研究应该是什么。吉伯特在名古屋大学举办了一个关于动物细胞冷冻储存的研讨会。他还与名古屋大学的主要动物研究人员交流了目前的研究情况，并热烈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.
