| Course description |
|
・ The course will be held online on Monday, June 28, 3rd year of Reiwa. ・ We will give a lecture on the defense response system to pests and the environment in land plants, focusing on the molecular evolution of biosynthesis of low-molecular-weight organic compounds. ・ Introducing three papers (PNAS, Nature Chemical Biology and The Plant Cell) published in 2020. By understanding the topics published in these top journals on their own, they will learn the latest knowledge and techniques in agriculture, and as a result, they will be positioned as lecture subjects to acquire advanced specialized abilities in the field of bioregulatory chemistry. |
| Expected Learning |
|
・ Understand the biosynthesis of low-molecular-weight organic compounds at the substance level, enzyme function level, and gene expression level. ・ How do you understand not only the content of the papers of the top journals (Q1 journal level) but also the points to be adopted? (Common understanding for being aware of manuscript submissions as original paper that you will have in the future.) |
| Course schedule |
|
・ Biosynthesis of plant hormones and their functions. ・ The role of the plant hormone gibberellin in higher plants. ・ Structure and function of gibberellin-type hormonal substances in lower land plants (mosses). ・ Biosynthesis and molecular evolution of allelochemicals that respond to fungi, pests and environmental stress in land plants. |
| Prerequisites |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
30% of report evaluations regarding class impressions and points of your interest. Since the three original papers are introduced in the lecture, the student's commentary on these papers will be evaluated as 70%. The details of the assignment will be explained during the lecture. |
