Capucine Jorant (left in the first photo) from INRAE and Université Clermont Auvergne in France visited the Laboratory of Stress and Adaptation Biology and the Laboratory of Plant Glycobiology at Saitama University. She uses physiological experiments and modeling to study how climate change affects the risk of frost damage in fruit trees and other plants.
During her visit, Keita Tachibana (right in the first photo) guided her in using microscopy to examine where cell wall components are found in plant tissue sections. She also joined lab members in making gyoza, and they got to know each other over the meal.
