Course description

“Role of plant genetics and breeding science in green innovation” Date: 7, 30, 2021 (Fri) 10:00 - Place： Bldg 6, 2F 209 TUAT and also provided online 　This course is a lecture to acquire a high degree of specialized ability in the field of biological production science by learning the latest knowledge and technology in agriculture. 　Green innovation through the use of plant has been suggested. This suggestion includes resolutions of food problem and environment issue, expansions of associated industries, and the creation of employment by taking full advantage of various functions of plants. In this lecture, role of plant genetics and breeding science in green innovation is discussed. 1) Objects of plant genetics and breeding science: history of researches of plant genetics and breeding science for accomplishment of traditional objects such as expansion of food production and quality improvement is outlined. In addition, new objects of plant genetics and breeding science for green innovation such as reduction of greenhouse gases and development of renewable energy sources are suggested. 2) Process of accomplishing objects of plant genetics and breeding science: the overall picture for process of accomplishing objects of plant genetics and breeding science is clarified, and then progresses and problems in researches for accomplishment of each object in the field of plant genetics and breeding science are outlined. 3) Technique of analysis for accomplishing objects of plant genetics and breeding science: Genomic editing by artificial nucleases or CRISPR/Cas9 system will be introduced as a breeding technology that contributes to accomplish the objects of plant genetics and breeding science.

Expected Learning

Understanding of the conventional objectives and new objectives of plant genetics and breeding science and the process to achieve those objectives. Understanding of the genome editing by artificial nucleases or CRISPR/Cas9 system as a new breeding methods that contributes to achievement of those objectives.

Message from instructor(s)

Green innovation through the use of plant is common object in plant sciences. I believe that students have a chance to think about how you want to be responsible for this object as a researcher in the future.
