Course description
This lecture consist of two lectures by Dr. Nakagawa (Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, NARO) and by Dr. Shibuya (Institute of Vegetable and Floriculture Science, NARO) on 2nd semester. This lecture is the professional subject of the biological-production science course.

The lecture by Dr.Nakagawa:
Crop growth models, especially for rice, will be discussed in terms of their basic structure, theory, history and current research topics. Also, application studies of crop growth models will be introduced, such as the impact assessments of climate change and constructing an agrometeorological information system.

The lecture by Dr. Shibuya:
Various issues and latest topics on biological production science will be discussed. The theme of this lecture is flower senescence and postharvest technology.

Classroom: undecided*
*It will be notified on a web bulletin board or Classroom.
1. The basics of crop growth models ? theory and history
2. The structure and function of rice growth models
3. Predicting the impact of climate change on crop production
4. An agrometeorological information system for rice, wheat and soybean

Flower longevity is one of the most important traits for ornamental plants. Understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of flower senescence is needed to efficiently develop postharvest technology. This course provides an overview of postharvest biology and technology of cut flowers.
