SummaryWith the theme of “environment,” we will elucidate the environmental adaptability and molecular evolution mechanisms of various species, such as plants, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and fungi species. We will explore applications of novel discoveries to aid the preservation of natural ecosystems and biological diversity.Figure 2Figure 3DirectorProfessorDepartment of Biological Science and Technology,Faculty of Advanced EngineeringPh.D.Future Development GoalsEstablished: April, 2020We explore the mechanisms by which life adapts and diversifies, and evolution occurs in a rapidly changing habitat environment. Our aim is also to develop technological seeds that contribute to our food and health quality.We will create a new revolutionary academic field that has never existed by fusing individually developed research areas such as environmental biology and ecology.Objectives garimura@rs.tus.ac.jp21Figure 1 Academic experts in the fields of environmental adaptation, biological interactions, molecular evolution, co-evolution, and ecology of living organisms have formed three subgroups “the section of environmental adaptation”, “the section of molecular evolution”, and the “section of nature symbiosis”. In order to create an academic research field that breaks through the classical concepts and barriers of environmental biology, evolutionary science, and ecology, we produce new technological seeds that will contribute to protecting our lives in a global environment that is always changing. We explore to find the mechanisms underlying biological sensing of environmental stress, and develop new technologies including environmental stress-adaptive cultivation systems.• Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the evolution and diversity of lives• Development of significant plant lines adapted for environmental stress tolerance and biologial interaction, leading to the creation of next-generation organic cultivation systems using immunostimulants and companion plants that contribute to reduced pesticide use.Members: Gen-ichiro Arimura, Kazuyuki Kuchitsu, Ryuichi Nishihama, Hisataka Ohta, Fuminori Takahashi, Takuya Uemura, Kenji Hashimoto, Takuya Sakamoto (Kanagawa Univ.), Sachihiro Matsunaga (Univ. of Tokyo) We analyze the mechanisms of genomic evolution and biology’s central dogma that enable adaptation and diversification of life from the viewpoint of evolution, which has been overlooked in the past. We also aim to develop new life system technology beyond conventional conceptions.• Elucidation and utilization of minimum components and the mechanism of biological protein synthesis system of life on Earth• Development of new life system technology based on RNA technologyMembers: Koji Tamura, Toshiki Furuya, Mitsunori Shiroishi, Masayuki Sakurai, Takashi Nakajima, Kazunori Okada (Univ. of Tokyo), Akiko Soma (Chiba Univ.) We advance scientific knowledge that contributes to the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity, and develop technologies for assessing risks of chemical substances to living things and for managing and improving the air, water, and soil environment.• Elucidation of environmental factors and mechanisms that affect future biological production• Development of analytical methods for atmospheric molecules and environmental chemicals, and of methods for assessing the effects on living organismsMembers: Shinichi Miyagawa, Shinichi Satake, Yoshitsugu Akiyama, Yutaka Sumino, Takuya Saito (NIEFS)Bioenvironmental research with the aim of creation of synergy between academic fields and technological seeds in an environmentally changing society.Gen-ichiro ArimuraDivision of Biological Environment Innovation
