[Objective] In this lecture, in order to understand woody biomass as a renewable resource in a plastic-free society, we will learn about the mechanism of plant biomass formation and imaging techniques, biodegradation control science necessary for understanding conversion and preservation technology, how to utilize cellulose and other natural fibers in the future, and the relationship between the structure and material properties of woody biomass and the formation of heartwood through lectures by four faculty members. [Outline] Funada: The lecture will focus on cell division and differentiation mechanisms of plant cells, which are a renewable resource and energy source and determine the quantity and quality of plant biomass. In particular, the lecture will be based on the latest findings on life phenomena, cell differentiation mechanisms, and environmental adaptability of trees that form woody biomass. In addition, in vivo imaging techniques, which are important for elucidating plant life phenomena, will be discussed. Yoshida: Students will learn about the control of biodegradation and the ecology of fungi that cause the biodegradation of woody biomass, as well as the latest information on these topics. Kose: One of the methods to utilize woody biomass as a material is the use of paper made from pulp fibers obtained by isolating the fibrous cells of woody biomass. Recently, it has become possible to prepare cellulose nanofibers from pulp fibers as an advanced nanomaterial. In this lecture, we will learn the concept of material application of natural fibers through the scientific knowledge of pulp fiber and paper, and also learn the properties of nanomaterials derived from natural fibers. Nakaba: We will learn about the relationship between the structure of woody biomass and its material properties. Students will also learn the latest information on the mechanism of heartwood formation. This lecture is positioned as a specialized course to acquire specialized knowledge on the utilization of woody biomass, especially on the resource function control science of this program. |

| Message from instructor(s) |
|
Funada: The importance and novelty of plant science will be conveyed through lectures. We will distribute question cards after each lecture, so please actively ask questions. Yoshida: I would like students to learn about biodegradation in depth. Kose: I would like you to deepen your knowledge of paper and pulp, which have supported human civilization for a long time, and think about how we should utilize plant fiber resources and paper and pulp in the future. Nakaba: I would like you to learn about the relationship between the structure and material properties of woody biomass. |
