Why Is Keiko Torii Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, is a Japanese plant scientist and academic teaching at the University of Texas at Austin as of September 2019. Research Torii researches stem cell maintenance and the cell-to-cell communication required to correctly pattern tissue during development, focusing on stomatal development as a model. Her work on cell-to-cell communication has also focused on the mechanisms that determine organ size and shape in plants. Her achievements include discoveries of key signaling ligands, receptor kinase signaling pathways, and master regulatory transcription factors that specify stomatal patterning and differentiation. Her research and collaboration ranges from cell-cell signaling in plant development to maintenance of lineage-specific stem cells, influence of extrinsic peptide and chemical signals in cell-fate decisions and patterning, and creation of an artificial ligand–receptor system to manipulate plant developmental signaling. Through her works, she aims to elucidate how functional tissue patterns are generated using cross-disciplinary approaches. Together with organic chemists and molecular structural theoreticians, she is developing artificial and orthogonal ligand-receptor systems with novel activities to understand and manipulate signaling pathways controlling plant development.
