Course description
"Morphology of Plants -Mechanism of nodule formation in leguminous plants-"
Plants form each organ such as leaves, stems, roots, flowers according to the environment such as light,
temperature, humidity, soil, etc.
Leguminous plants like soybeans can form root nodules and use fixed nitrogen. The formation of nodule
is controlled by root and shoot. In this lecture, the mechanism of nodule formation and function of
matured nodule will be reviewed. The effects of environment in organogenesis of plants will be also
described.
In the field of plant research, it is important to measure plant growth, so a lot of measurement methods
have been developed. Finally, the measurement methods of plant growth will be reviewed.
Expected Learning
Understanding the effects of environment in organogenesis of plants. Understanding the mechanism of
nodule formation.
