||
| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Lectures and training for the phenotyping agronomic trais, genotyping using molecular markers, and the basic techniques of tissues culture and gene expression analysis. | ||
| Course Goals | Students will develop the techniques needed to breed, observe and analyze research materials, so that they can engage in their research projects independently. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
10 weeks of classes and seminars are planned for each topic. 1) Lectures and experiments related to the assessment of ear emergence in rice plants and the methods of functional analysis of photoreceptors, biological clock, flower bud differentiation and morphogenetic genes (10 weeks) 2) Lectures and experiments related to imparting stress resistance by the transposition of mPing, a class of rice MITE, and explaining the phenomena of plant vigor (10 weeks) 2) Lectures and experiments related to the methods of evaluation and genetic analysis of the seed components and stress resistance of soybeans (10 weeks) |
||
| Evaluation Methods and Policy | Grading will be based on a comprehensive assessment of attendance and commitment to projects. | ||
| Course Requirements |
It is desirable that students have completed Plant Breeding. Basic knowledge of molecular biology and genetics is required. |
||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Basic knowledge of plant nutrition, plant physiology, and soil science is needed for breeding stress-resistant plants, and basic knowledge of plant pathology and applied entomology are required for breeding pest-resistant plants. Students must keep abreast of the latest information in the fields related to their research themes. | ||
