海洋生物實驗室簡介
江佩倫老師
本實驗室的研究主要關注海洋生物與其環境的交互作用，致力於支持永續的海洋養殖與保育工作。主要研究項目包括：
1. 珊瑚白化機制與共生藻自噬作用及硫循環的研究
研究珊瑚、海葵與共生藻之間的胞內共生機制，特別探討海洋營養變化對其生理機制的影響。同時，我們還研究自噬作用在維持珊瑚與共生藻健康中的角色，並探索硫循環在這種共生關係中的重要性。這些研究有助於了解珊瑚在面臨環境壓力時的抵抗力，包括HSP70等壓力蛋白在內的分子應激反應。
2. 藻細胞的培育、油體、生脂肪酸光合作用及藻類固碳的研究
研究包括藻細胞的培育，以探索油體的產生和脂肪酸光合作用的動態。同時，我們還研究藻類固碳過程，旨在增進對藻類生長及其在碳捕集技術中潛在角色的理解。
3. 百合花粉自噬作用的研究
研究百合花粉中的自噬機制，探討這一細胞過程在花粉發育及存活中的重要性。理解百合花粉中的自噬作用不僅有助於深入了解植物的生殖機制，還可能促進其在農業及生物技術領域的應用。
Research Focus of the Marine Biology Laboratory
Pei-Luen Jiang Associate Professor
Our laboratory primarily focuses on the interactions between marine organisms and their environment, with the goal of supporting sustainable aquaculture and conservation efforts. The key research projects include:
- Study of Coral Bleaching Mechanisms, Autophagy in Symbiodinium, and Sulfur Cycling
We investigate the intracellular symbiosis between corals, sea anemones, and Symbiodinium algae, with a particular focus on how changes in marine nutrient levels affect their physiological processes. Additionally, we explore the role of autophagy in maintaining coral and symbiont health and the significance of sulfur cycling in this symbiotic relationship. These studies are critical for understanding coral resilience to environmental stress, including molecular stress responses such as the expression of heat shock proteins (e.g., HSP70).
- Cultivation of Algal Cells and Studies on Oil Bodies, Fatty Acid Photosynthesis, and Algal Carbon Fixation
Our research includes the cultivation of algal cells to explore the production of oil bodies and the dynamics of fatty acid photosynthesis. We also study algal carbon fixation processes, aiming to enhance understanding of algal growth and their potential role in carbon capture technologies.
- Study of Autophagy in Lily Pollen
We also investigate the autophagy mechanisms in lily pollen, examining how this cellular process plays a crucial role in pollen development and viability. Understanding autophagy in lily pollen not only provides deeper insights into plant reproductive biology but also offers potential applications in agriculture and biotechnology.
