花色の安定化と切り花の延命に関する研究

　My research interest is in the physiology and ecology of ornamental plants. Here, I introduce my research subjects on the stabilization of flower color and cut flower longevity. Seasonal color change of dahlia (Dahlia variabilis) is studied as practical study for improving the stable dahlia cut flower production during autumn and winter. The results obtained from pigment analysis and clone selection are presented. Research on cut flower longevity is presented from two aspects. Firstly, study on the structure of conductive tissues that contribute to water transport is presented. Secondly, study on the floral organs that contribute to transpiration from cut flowers is presented.
