Acknowledgements

This dissertation is the outcomes of doctoral research conducted at the Graduate School

of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyushu University, during 2018−2023 under

supervision of Professor Tetsuo Kondo.

The First and foremost, the author would like to express the utmost gratitude to Professor

Tetsuo Kondo, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (former professor, Graduate

school of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyushu University). Without Professor

Kondo’s guidance, discussions, and supervision, the achievement of this research would not have

been possible.

The author would like to extend their sincere appreciation to Associate Professor Daisuke

Tatsumi, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyushu University,

who graciously agreed to serve as the chief examiner for the dissertation. Associate professor

Daisuke Tatsumi has consistently engaged in open and insightful discussions, providing

inspiration for the research.

Special thanks are extended to Associate Professor Shingo Yokota, Graduate School of

Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyushu University, for the invaluable support and

meaningful discussions. Without the collaboration of Associate Professor Shingo Yokota, the

completion of this study would not have been feasible.

The author would also like to express the profound gratitude to Professor Kiyohiko

Igarashi, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the University of Tokyo and

133

Professor Takuya Kitaoka, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences,

Kyushu University, for reviewing this dissertation.

The author wishes to express thanks to the Center for Advanced Instrumental and

Educational Supports, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, for the assistance with the

CLSM (TCS SP8).

The author is thankful to Mrs. Runa Watanabe for her generous and precise support in

practical aspects of the research work.

Acknowledgments are extended to Dr. Koichiro Ishida, with whom the author has strived

and grown together as a fellow student.

The author would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Ryo Takahama for numerous

discussions on the research.

Appreciation is also extended to all the members and associates of the Biomaterial

Design Laboratory and Biomacromolecular Materials Laboratory, Graduate School of

Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyushu University.

Last but not least, I would like to express the gratitude to my partner and parents for their

warmest support and encouragement throughout this research journey.
