トマト種子×粒子：発芽・成長の飛躍 Tomato Seed Power: Particles for Growth
植物の重要な生理現象である種子発芽・定着を促進する技術の開発を目的とした。具体的には、ナノ粒子や燃焼由来ススなどの新たな素材を用いた種子発芽促進技術、プライミングによる種子耐ストレス性の向上技術、茎内粒子輸送技術などを検討した。これらの研究成果は、持続可能な農業と食料安全保障に貢献するものと考えられる。
This dissertation explores novel techniques to enhance tomato seed germination and seedling establishment, critical aspects for modern agriculture and food security. Focusing on particle transport within plants, the research investigates:
: Impact of nanoparticles on seed morphology and beneficial microbes like Bacillus sp.
: Potential of candle soot, an unconventional material, as a seed germination enhancer.
: “Priming” to improve seed resilience against stress using silica nanoparticles.
: Innovative stem-based particle delivery for future plant science applications.
These findings pave the way for sustainable agricultural practices and increased crop yields.
