| １． |
Outline |
|
We will highlight certain aspects of how plants adapt and respond to fluctuating environmental factors such as light intensity and quality, temperature, water availability, air quality, mineral nutrient and trace element concentrations, salinity, and soil chemical environment. We will also assess the consequences, which include the control of growth and development, cytoplasmic movement, stress-stimulated responses, cell signaling processes, and plant-pathogen interactions.
|
| ２． |
Objectives |
|
The goal of Environmental Physiology of Plants is to acquire an understanding of key concepts of the growth and differentiations of the plants at the molecular level responding to the fluctuating environmental factors.
|
| ３． |
Grading Policy |
|
The learning results are evaluated with academic performance of the review and discussion.

|
| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
Students are expected to review the basics of biology such as cellular biology, molecular genetics, plant physiology, and plant chemistry in advance, as well as to read the recommended material prior to each class to increase their ability to follow the lectures and participate in discussions. A discussion leader will be appointed each time, and is required to prepare for the next lecture to discuss about it.

Note |
|
A discussion leader is appointed each session, and is required to prepare for the next lecture to discuss in the lecture.
