| Course description |
|
The purpose of the plant physiology is to understand the principles regulating metabolism and the growth of the plant. Therefore, it is a required subject for students learning applied plant science. In this lecture, "Growth and Differentiation" and "Energy and Metabolism" in plant cells are reviewed mainly and the basic knowledge in this field are explained. In the section of ‘Growth and Differentiation’, we learn about plant hormones, their function and their roles in agriculture, as well as the mechanisms of plant responses to the environment. In the section of ‘Energy and Metabolism’, the mechanism of photosynthesis is described in detail, as it is the most important mechanism that enables plants to serve as producers. In each lecture, important points are clearly indicated in the form of questions and students are advised to think about the answers to such questions during the lectures in order to deepen their understanding. Many technical terms and ‘jargons’ will appear in the lectures but the list will be provided. Students are encouraged to study using the important points and the list of jargons, as well as data and figures provided in the class to build a systematic understanding on plant physiology. |
| Expected Learning |
|
The standard of this lecture is to understand a basic physiology of the plant hormone and a photosynthetic process. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. (URL: https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ ) |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| I would like students to develop a deeper understanding of biological activities of plants that are the foundation of life on Earth, from the aspects of energy, metabolism, and regulatory mechanisms of growth. I would also like to encourage students to learn how to analyse and evaluate experimental data that we consider during the lectures, and to learn how we conduct research. |
