| Course description |
|
Three professors, Drs. Toshiyuki Fukuhara, Takashi Ueda and Takahiro Hamada, give lectures about recent topics of Plant Physiology. 1. Versatile functions of RNAs in plants, especially, RNA interference (RNA silencing) and RNA-derected DNA methylation (Fukuhara). 2. Photoreception, phytochrome, live cell imaging (Kodama). 3. Totipotency (Iwase). |
| Expected Learning |
| To understand RNA interference, phytochrome and totipotency in plants. |
| Course schedule |
|
1. Regulation of gene expression by small RNAs I: Post-transcriptional gene silencing by miRNAs or siRNAs. 2. Regulation of gene expression by small RNAs II: Transcriptional gene silencing by small RNA-directed DNA methylation. 3. Defense against virus infection by RNA silencing. 4. Application of RNA interference and RNA-directed DNA methylation. 5．Phytochrome 6. Totipotency |
