【Course Objectives】

Through examining the characteristics of plants at the level of genes, proteins, cells, organs, organisms, and environment, this course will give students an understanding of how plants live.

【Course Contents】

Plants have evolved to possess structures and systems that differ greatly from those found in animals, enabling them to thrive. Preservation of the current global environment is a major problem currently facing humanity; however the environment exists as it does in the first place largely due to the work of plants. Furthermore, for the sake of agricultural production, understanding plants and their effective uses is a subject of great importance. Plants carry out carbon assimilation in the form of photosynthesis, have cells that are immobile, and possess a flexible physical structure that adapts to its environment. They also have a few distinct characteristics regarding their interactions with other forms of life. With the advent of molecular biology, these characteristics are now able to be understood at both the genetic and molecular level. In this course, students will learn about how plants are organized on the level of their cells, tissue, and organs. With this foundation, the roles of the various structures and systems found in plants will be reexamined from the point of view of evolution, adaptation, environmental response, development, and differentiation. They will also be examined in the context of how plants interact with other living things. Specific examples which are already well understood on the molecular level will be discussed, and results of the latest research in the field will be touched upon. Lastly, genetic recombination techniques in plants will be discussed.
