Objectives |
|
This class provides an understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of plant growth and development, including plant evolution and structure; plant growth and development; flowering and flower development; responses to environmental factors; and provides an essential background about bioinformatics and basic techniques needed to plant biology research.

| ２． |
Outline |
|
This class will take up several current topics on plant molecular biology, including seed germination and dormancy; vegetative growth and reproductive growth; responses to environmental factors, and also review the major scientific databases. Students will learn about basic Internet tools needed for plant biology research, including the database/web-tool for genomic information, transcriptome and metabolome.
