Course description

This lecture consist of two lectures by Prof. Yoshioka (Azabu University) and by Prof. Ito (Nihon University). This lecture is the professional subject of the biological-production science course. The lecture by Prof. Yoshioka: Outline Reproductive management system using IoT in cattle /In vitro embryo production and its application in pigs. The lecture by Prof. Ito: In this lecture, we will focus on the mechanism of interaction in plants with other organisms which contribute to the stress tolerance and understand strategies that plants use to adapt to stressful environments. We will also introduce agricultural technology that utilizes these mechanisms. This lecture is special lecture of the Department of Science of Biological Production.

Expected Learning

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. (URL: https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ ) The lecture by Prof. Yoshioka: (1) Obtain basic knowledge about current and perspective status of the development of the system for accurate reproductive management and prevention of reproductive failure using IoT. (2) Understand assisted reproductive technologies in pigs. The lecture by Prof. Ito: Understand and explain the stress tolerance mechanism of plants and sustainable farming methods that utilize their properties.

What is the stress tolerance mechanism of plants? 2. Plant-animal-insect interaction (evolution and secondary metabolites), plant-plant interaction (utilization of allelopathy) 3. Plant-microbial interaction (mutual recognition mechanism and infection mechanism of symbiotic microorganisms and plant growth promoting microorganisms) 4. Examples of agricultural use of stress-tolerant plants

Message from instructor(s)

The lecture by Prof. Ito: There are various species of plants, each of which has its own mechanism to adapt to the environment. In order to benefit from plants, it is important to know the mechanism of plants.
