| Course description |
|
“Plant Molecular Breeding” Genetically modified (GM) plants are expected to be utilized for not only increased food production but also molecular farming of useful substances, such as industrial materials, biofuel, and pharmaceuticals. In this lecture, representative plant genetic engineering techniques (e.g. nuclear and plastid transformation methods and control of gene expression) and their applications for generation of promising GM crops are reviewed. In addition, topics on new plant breeding techniques (NBT) such as genome editing are introduced. In the last part of this lecture, we will discuss on public acceptance of GM plants. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Understanding of the typical plant genetic engineering techniques (e.g. transformation methods and control of gene expression) and examples of promising GM crops). Having and expressing your own scientific opinions about public acceptance of GM plants. |
| Course schedule |

(Course Schedule) 1. Nuclear transformation (1) gene transfer methods, (2) control of gene expression (overexpression or gene silencing of target genes), and (3) examples of promising GM crops 2. Plastid transformation (1) its characteristics (merits), (2) gene transfer method, and (3) examples of promising GM plants 3. New plant breeding techniques (NBT) e.g. genome editing and graft-transmitted gene silencing 4. General discussion on public acceptance of GM plants |

| Assessment/Grading |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| I’ll try to give interesting lectures for students who are not familiar with plant molecular biology. I’m happy that any topics in this lecture help your research activity in the future. |
