Course description

The purpose of this lecture is to provide students with the knowledge needed to understand the latest outcomes of plant molecular physiology and plant molecular breeding in the field of plant production sciences. The lecture also provides students with the knowledge needed to develop solutions for research on plant production sciences. The knowledges, such as phytohormone and the signal transduction in plant cells, in the plant molecular physiology are explained in the first half of this lecture. Moreover, the latest knowledges on new plant breeding techniques in the plant molecular breeding are lectured in the latter half.

Expected Learning

*Understanding the meaning of data provided by biochemical and molecular biological analysis in plant sciences. *Understanding the new breeding techniques used in plant breeding through learning of theory, principle, and application examples of them.

Course schedule

Omnibus/15 periods total Motoki Kanekatsu (8 periods) 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 processes. 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. Unit 1 Introduction Unit 2 Usefulness of the mutants in plant sciences (1) ---The factors which play important roles in response to gibberellin--- Unit 3 Usefulness of the mutants in plant sciences (2) --- Signal transduction system of gibberellin --- Unit 4 MAP kinase cascade Unit 5 Two component system (1) --- Activation tagging method and cytokinin--- Unit 6 Two component system (2) --- Signal transduction of cytokinin --- Unit 7 The receptor for ABA Unit 8 The signal transduction system of ABA Tetsuya Yamada (7 periods) In the lectures, principles and application examples of breeding techniques to assist traditional breeding methods are explained in detail. In addition to marker-assisted selection and recombinant DNA techniques, new plant breeding techniques (NBT) such as genome editing using artificial nucleases and epigenome editing using RNA-depending DNA methylation are introduced. Unit 9 Traditional breeding methods 1: marker-assisted selection (MAS) Unit 10 Traditional breeding methods 2: Recombinant DNA techniques, cisgenesis and intragenesis Unit 11 Genome editing 1: artificial nucleases Unit 12 Genome editing 2: Meganuclease, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) Unit 13 Genome editing 3: TALEN, CRISPR/Cas system Unit 14 Epigenome editing 1: RNA-depending DNA methylation (RdDM) Unit 15 Epigenome editing 2: Grafting on GM rootstock
