November 10, 2020 (Tue ) 10:00 - The 2nd meeting room, 4th floor, Main building of United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, TUAT Students can join a class on line as well. Physiology of reproduction and development in insect The insects having habitation on earth have adapted them to environment and prospered with various strategies, and have overcome many environmental changes and recorded the adaptation strategy on their genes. In this lecture, insect physiology of inheritance and development is discussed mainly with the silkworm and the honey bee. The silkworm, Bombyx mori is the material peculiar to Japan. The silkworms have been bred in order to get silk thread by human being during several thousand years. The silkworm cannot survive in the outdoors in spite of Lepidoptera insect. The silkworm which does not require a rearing box to prevent to escaping occupies an important position as a laboratory animal / study material. Bombyx mori was the second to have its genome mapped. We introduce some studies of the field of development / genetics from the studies of the silkworm to be outstanding in the world. You will get scientific knowledge and deepening of biological interest by understanding the contents. |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| Physiology of the silkworm will be commented form the viewpoint of genetics and developments. I will try to give talks which are understandable and interesting for students who are not familiar with the silkworm. |
