| １． |
Outline |
|
After overview on plant innate immunity, recent findings on signal transduction pathways from recognition of pathogens to defense responses such as production of phytoalexins and pathogenesis-related proteins will be introduced. Reading of original papers dealing with recent topics on plant innate immunity will also be performed.
|
| ２． |
Objectives |
|
The aim of this course is to understand basic mechanisms of plant innate immunity. Direction and possibility of breeding of disease resistant plants and development of plant defense activators will also be discussed.
