| １． |
Outline |
|
Biological roles, biosynthesis and its regulatory mechanisms, and perception and signal transduction of plant hormones will be studied.
|
| ２． |
Objectives |
|
It has been indicated that plant hormones are involved in a variety of growth and physiological phenomena throughout the life cycle. The aim of this course is to understand biological functions, biosynthesis, and signal transduction pathways of plant hormones.
|
| ３． |
Grading Policy |
|
Final grade will be calculated according to quizzes in each lecture (30%) and the final examination (70%). To pass, students must earn at least 60 points out of 100.

| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
Students have to prepare each lecture by reading the handout posted on LMS and summarizing the content of next lecture in a notebook. This preparation will take one hour.
There will be homework each week. Students should review the questions they did not understand in their homework. Quizzes in each lecture will contain similar questions. This review will take two hours.
|
| ６． |
Note |
|
Students should review the contents of "Organic chemistry". Handout will be posted on LMS. Part of quizzes will be performed using mobile-MARS.
|
