Course description
The purpose of plant ecophysiology is the one area of plant physiology, and is to understand the growth, dry matter production and the relationship between plant and environment. In the class, effects of light, temperature and moisture conditions on plant growth and development, photosynthesis and translocation and distribution of photoassimilates are introduced from the view of plant ecophysiology.
Expected Learning
The standard of this lecture is to understand plant ecophysilogy associated with canopy growth, dry matter production and plant-environment interactions.

(Adachi)
8. What is plant stress? An overview of the environment surrounding plants and plant response and defense mechanisms.
9. High-temperature stress: impaired photosynthesis, altered respiration, reduced productivity and quality.
10. Low-temperature stress: damage to biological membranes, cold damage, freezing injury
11. Water absorption and transport in plants: water potential, roots, water conduction, transpiration
12. Water stress: stomatal response, drought, excessive humidity
13. Light stress and atmospheric environment: plant light response, global warming, air pollution
14. Soil environment and nutrient uptake: soil properties, soil pH, salinity
15. Examination
