Course description

Dr. Sugiyama Molecular mechanisms underlying development and pattern formation in plants will be reviewed, featuring several special cases, with a predominant focus on the roles of phytohormones, auxin and cytokinin. Dr. Kim Chromatin dynamics based on epigenetics in plants

Expected Learning

Dr. Sugiyama Students are expected to understand characteristics of plant development, theoretical frameworks for biological pattern formation, and roles of phytohormones in the regulation of development and pattern formation in plants. Dr. Kim Understanding of gene regulation and chromatin structure linked to developmental and environmental responses in plants from the viewpoint of chromatin dynamics based on “Epigenetics”.

Course schedule

Dr. Sugiyama 1) Regulation of construction and activity of apical meristems. 2) Phyllotactic pattern formation. 3) Leaf vein pattern formation. 4) Molecular genetic studies of plant organogenesis. Dr. Kim 1) Outline of epigenetics conserved from yeast to human. 2) Epigenetic characters in plants 3) Chromatin dynamics in plant development 4) Chromatin dynamics of environmental response in plants
