Course description
This 1-credit course utilizes lectures to learn environmental responses of plants and animals from the viewpoint of different hierarchies from molecules to populations. Based on their environmental responses, sustainable technologies for plant production will be discussed. In addition, this course introduces phenotypic plasticity produced by the interaction of genes and environments, and potential technologies controlling the plasticity for sustainable management of pest organisms.
Expected Learning
To understand physiological functions of plants and physical environments for plant production.
To understand fundamental molecular mechanisms in environmental responses of animals.
Course schedule
1) The hierarchy of life
2) Physical quantities and units of the environment (1)
