Course description
This lecture outlines "chemical ecology". Chemical ecology is the research field studying chemical interactions among organisms. In this class, representative phenomena in this field and those involving phytohormones in biological interactions will be introduced.
Expected Learning
The attendants should learn how to see biological interactions from a chemical point of view, and how to pursue studies in the field.
