Course description
Plants make a lot of response to signals of light, phytohormones and environmental stress. Many factors, such as receptors, G-protein, protein kinase and transcriptional factors, play important roles in these process. In this lecture, the functions of these factors and signal transduction in plant cells are explained using data of the past superior articles. In addition, the technical principle in the field of molecular biology and biochemistry is introduced.
Expected Learning
The standard of this lecture is to understand the meaning of data provided by biochemical and molecular biological analysis.
