Approximately 30% of the world's crop yields are lost to agricultural pests, adding to the recent food shortages. To solve this problem, we are developing integrated pest management technologies with physical, biological, and genetic tools, mainly targeting spider mites, a super pest. We are also conducting research on sustainable food production by utilizing insect functions. Recent major topics include plant-mite interactions, mite silk function and production mechanisms, diapause and sleep in insects and mites, RNAi-based biopesticides, and production systems of edible insects. Our motto is to enjoy the wonder of combination. Our goal is to contribute to the world's food production by combining agricultural and engineering methods, and to conduct exciting science!
