CANCELLED —— Dr. Kentaro Inoue, professor, Department of Plant Sciences, University of California at Davis, will present the seminar “Protein transport and chloroplast evolution.”

Dr. Inoue completed his Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Tokyo in Japan. He identified a beta-glucosidase that activates steroid saponins in a medicinal plant and found that it is located in the chloroplast. He then received postdoctoral training in plant biochemistry at Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation in Oklahoma before starting to study chloroplast protein import at Michigan State University for another postdoctoral appointment. His laboratory in UCDavis mainly uses biochemical and molecular genetic tools to answer questions about chloroplast biogenesis at evolutionary and developmental contexts. The current and past supports for his research program are from DOE, NSF, USDA, and California Citrus Research Board.
