Matthias Wissuwa is a visiting Professor at the PhenoRob Cluster of Excellence and the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation (INRES), Department of Plant Nutrition, University of Bonn. Until March 2023 he was a Senior Scientist at JIRCAS and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Global Agricultural Sciences at the University of Tokyo. Before joining JIRCAS in 2005, he spent four years at IRRI as Plant Physiologist. He is a plant breeder and geneticist with a strong interest in stress physiology. He leads a team working on improving abiotic stress tolerance in rice, with particular emphasis on tolerance to phosphorus deficiency, improved nutrient utilization efficiency, Zn biofortification, tolerance to iron toxicity, and root development.
Lukas Krusenbaum joined as a PhD student of the PhenoRob Cluster of Excellence in January 2023. He is investigating genotypic variation for lateral root traits in rice and maize using genbank accessions, GWAS and genomic prediction, and MAGIC populations.
The JIRCAS team:
Juan Pariasca Tanaka has served as Research Scientist and Lab Manager of the group since 2006. He is a trained horticulturist with a background in molecular biology. Juan is involved in all aspects of our research work from field screening experiments to our various projects involving transcriptomics and sequence analyses. He has furthermore been a big help to our visiting research fellows, making sure they find their way around our lab.
Yoshiaki Ueda is a tenure-track researcher of JIRCAS with a focus on molecular plant physiology. His research topics include internal P utilization efficiency, the cross-talk between P and N nutrition and tolerance to iron toxicity.
Lam Thi Dinh was a postdoc at JIRCAS primarily working on QTL mapping of root traits and candidate gene characterization of root growth related genes. She is now assistant professor at Hirosaki University, Japan, collaborating closely on fine-mapping lateral root density QTL she identified at JIRCAS.
Daniel Gonzalez was a PhD student working on modeling root growth and P uptake in upland rice.
Mari Yonemoto is a research technician mostly involved in gene expression profiling and marker work.
Eiko Yoshiba is our administrative assistant
