Course description
Friday, November 4, 2022, 10:00- Hybrid Course
Room 209, 2nd floor, Building 6, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology

The productivity of crops is controlled by many factors. A deep understanding of the physiological processes of crop production is necessary to increase productivity. In this course, we will focus on photosynthesis, which is the basis of crop production, to understand its physiological and molecular mechanisms and how it is linked to the agroecosystem. We will also discuss the latest research of photosynthesis and elements necessary for the advent of the second green revolution.
Expected Learning
(1) To be able to explain photosynthesis and crop production.
(2) To be able to express their own ideas about future crop development.

Relationship to the Diploma Policy
