Course description
Oct.20(Fri) 10:00- Research building 5F Room 501,College of Agriculture, Ibaraki University
Students can also join a class online.

Towards the discovery of novel insecticide targets based on insect physiology and biochemistry.
Agricultural pest control is an important strategy for crop protection. It is important to study the physiological and biochemical characteristics of pests to find potential novel pesticide targets particularly against the agricultural pests.
Expected Learning
Students who successfully complete this class understanding the insect physiology, biochemistry and translational agrochemicals.
Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy: see the curriculum map.
Course schedule
This course is a one-day intensive course. Students study as follows.
1. Insect physiology: Learning new physiological functions of insects from genome analysis, gene expression, molecular quantification, etc.
2. Insect biochemistry: Considering findings from insect physiology through biochemical methods.
3. Compound search technology development: Learn technology development to capture specific molecules based on knowledge found in insect biochemistry
Prerequisites
In addition to 7.5 h that students take a class, recommend preparing and reviewing using the handouts, references, and textbooks.
Required Text(s) and Materials
The lecturer introduces the text in the class.
