| Course description |
| Cadmium accumulated in crops causes health problems in human, thus technologies to reduce cadmium in edible parts are required. While zinc is an essential mineral in human and its deficiency is widely prevailed in the world, thus the technologies to increase zinc in edible parts are required. In this class, mechanisms of Cd and Zn transport in plants and the regulations of their contents in edible parts will be lectured. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students are expected to learh the mechanisms of Cd and Zn transport in plants and wil be able to discuss about the methods to regulate thier accumulations in edible parts. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. (URL: https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ ) |
