1.
Outline
After we 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 original papers covering recent topics on plant innate immunity will also be conducted.
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.
3.
Grading Policy
Learning results will be evaluated by the quality of presentation.
4.
Textbook and Reference
Reference materials will be distributed.
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Basic knowledge of plant biochemistry, plant molecular biology, instrumental analysis, biochemistry, and organic chemistry are needed to understand this lecture.
