Course description
1. “Researches on proteomics and metabolomics in trees”
2. “Proteomics” is a research field on comprehensive analyses of proteins that are synthesized by the genomic information in organisms. “Metabolomics” is a research field on comprehensive analyses of metabolites that are biosynthesized or degraded by proteins, mostly enzymes, synthesized in organisms. Researches on proteomics and metabolomics are actively being carried out through the world as post-genomics researches, and they are remarkably under development in medical and pharmaceutical fields. In contrast, these researches on plants are rather undeveloped, especially those on trees are much less developed. However, these researches on trees are steadily undergoing mostly in tree pathology.
3. This lecture deals with the following topics: basic concepts on proteomics and metabolomics, instrumental analyses for proteomics and metabolomics, researches on proteomics and metabolomics for plants, and researches on proteomics and metabolomics for trees.
Expected Learning
