Course description

[Objectives] The disorders of plant growth caused by microbes are called " diseases", and the causative organism is called "pathogens". In this class, classification of pathogenic microorganisms, their nature and the life cycle, the invasive strategies of pathogens, and the defense strategies of the plants will be discussed. The relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and plants are also discussed followed by the discussion of the control of diseases based on the understanding of the relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and plants. [Overview] The major plant pathogenic microorganisms are filamentous fungus, bacteria, phytoplasma, nematodes, and viruses. In this lecture, mainly on fungi and bacteria, classification, morphology, physiology, life cycle and genetics are discussed. In addition, I will introduce the defense mechanisms to the pathogens in plants, strategies for pathogens to overcome the plants' defense. In addition, based on the understanding of the relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and plants, we will discuss on the possibility of controlling the diseases.

Expected Learning

Understanding of classification of pathogenic microorganisms, their nature and the life cycle, the invasive strategies of pathogens, the defense strategies of the plants, the relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and plants, and the control of diseases based on the understanding of the relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and plants is evaluated by the exam. In addition to the lesson time of 30 hours and the above-mentioned lesson learning time, using the text to be distributed in the lesson, materials to be posted on HP and moodle, prepare and review according to the standard number of the university As a viewpoint of the diploma policy, please refer to the following curriculum map of HPU (Three Policies). https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/

Assessment/Grading

evaluate how actively attending the class (15%) + exam results (85%). However, to evaluate the D regardless of the test results if the attendance is less than 50%. I introduce the overview for the results of the test and evaluation of test points and evaluated in the last lecture.

Message from instructor(s)

It is interesting disciplines of mutual relationship of two organisms pathogenic microorganisms - plant. I believe many of you will be interested in the "plant diseases" in the world around you.
