| Course description |
|
This lecture consists of two lectures by Assoc. Prof. Kiuchi (The university of Tokyo) and Dr.Hanajima (National Agriculture and Food Research Organization) on 2nd semester. This lecture is the professional subject of the biological-production science course. The lecture by Assoc. Prof. Kiuchi: The silkworm, Bombyx mori, is a domesticated and improved insect which produces vast amounts of silk protein. In addition, genetically modified silkworms can produce functional silk and recombinant proteins. Recently, next-generation sericulture using genetically modified silkworms is developing in Japan. Under such situation, we attempt to produce more useful gene modified silkworm using knowledge from genetic study about sex determination, host plant selection, and diapause induction, etc. In this lecture, I will introduce our studies including methods of silkworm genome editing. The lecture by Dr. Hanajima: Animal waste generated by the livestock industry has been utilized as organic fertilizer, however, the odor as well as pollutants involved in waste occasionally cause environmental problems. This lecture outlines the environmental issues related with animal waste, the waste treatment technology for mitigating environmental impacts and the sustainable organic resource recycling. |
