Nishiyama group published a paper.

Professor Yoshitaka Nishiyama from Group B01 and his colleagues have clarified the roles of elongation factors in the repair of photosystem II. This newly discovered mechanism is expected to deepen our understanding of plant stress responses and lead to the development of plants with improved stress tolerance.
