| Course description |
|
“Establish a natural and organic agricultural system by root endophytic fungi” Crop production has been extremely dependent on chemicals to control natural pest organisms and supply nutrients for growth. These chemicals have caused considerable negative impacts on agricultural soils since their introduction. It is today’s aim to reduce the use of chemicals and switch to biological based method for pest control purposes, i.e., create a natural and organic agricultural system. I proposed the hypothesis of a wide range of symbiotic fungi that occur naturally and have the potential to control environmental stress in their host plants. In this lecture, I will first explain the interaction between host plants and symbiotic fungi in detail. Subsequently, the role of symbiotic fungi in situ needs to be explained to ensure to my hypothesis. |
| Expected Learning |
|
The understanding of the symbiotic relationship of the fungi and plant. The considering the new crop production system based on this symbiotic relationship. |
| Course schedule |
|
1. The discovery of a dark septate endophytic fungus (DSE), which controls soil borne diseases of crops 2. The behavior of DSE in situ and the colonization mechanisms in host roots 3. The symbiotic association between plants and DSE fungi 4. Elucidation of the symbiotic mechanism 5. Explain the role of DSE fungi in situ |

I proposed the hypothesis of a wide range of symbiotic fungi that occur naturally and have the potential to control environmental stress in their host plants. Hopefully, my hypothesis will be accepted widely by students. |
