Megumi Hirata Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Megumi Hirata's research investigates fundamental biological processes, with recent work focusing on genetic elements that regulate transposition in the plant *Antirrhinum*. This work explores the function of specific loci, termed 'Stabiliser', in controlling the movement of transposons without hindering the production of the necessary transposase enzyme. Hirata also studies cellular morphology and the potential for bioproduction in plant cell cultures, including transcriptomic analysis of induced cell wall-deficient tobacco BY-2 cells. Hirata has published 14 works, with an h-index of 6 and 273 total citations. Key collaborators include Jianfeng Xu, Kathryn L. Kellar, and Fnu Mamta, all from Arkansas State University.
