Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hajime Nagano"
- Hajime Nagano's research primarily focuses on the chemical and genetic diversity of Ligularia species, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains and surrounding areas in China, highlighting the ecological significance of compounds like furanoeremophilanes.
- He has contributed to the discovery of several new sesquiterpenoids from various Ligularia species, enhancing the understanding of their chemical composition and evolutionary relationships through DNA sequencing.
- His work also extends to the exploration of ancient biomembrane structures, suggesting that branched polyprenyl phosphates could represent primitive membrane constituents, thus bridging the fields of biochemistry and evolutionary biology.
