Course description
December, 9, 2020 (Wednesday) 10:00 - Online lecture
Plant physiology is a science that analyzes physiological phenomena of plants including the areas of plant responses to the environment and interactions between plants and other organisms, and is of considerable importance as a base of the husbandry and breeding of field and horticultural crops. The recent progress in the science of plant physiology is remarkable. We deal with the field of plant physiology concerning plant production, i.e. the husbandry and breeding of field and horticultural crops in “plant production physiology”. In the lecture, recent progresses will be introduced on some selected topic and perspectives will be given.
Expected Learning
1.   Explain limiting factors of leaf photosynthetic rate
2. Explain limiting factors of canopy photosynthetic rate
3. Explain the changes in C3 and C4 photosynthesis under increasing CO2 concentration and global warming
4. Explain rubisco and photorespiration.
Course schedule
1. Limiting factors of leaf photosynthetic rate
2. Carbon fixation from leaves to crop canopies
3. Improve crop photosynthesis under increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration and global warming
Prerequisites
Total 22.5 hours of studies are required including 7.5 hours of lecture and reviewing the under graduate level knowledge of photosynthesis.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Plant Physiology and Development eds. L.Teiz and E.Zeiger 2015

Message from instructor(s)
I will devote a lecture to summarizing a physiological features related to the photosynthesis function from the organ to the population levels. Shall we discuss possible physiological advancements to improve crop production.
