Class Objectives
/Class Outline Organisms live interacting directly and indirectly with enormous kinds of factors exist in nature. In this lecture, chemical and biological factors that influence plant growth and presence will be introduced, where special emphasis will be put on the influences of external and internal environments, and mechanisms of the interactions. The goal of this class is to understand the complexity and interactions of plant growth environments.

Class Schedule Monday
- lesson1 (Kuga・Wasaki・Nakagawa）
  Guidance

Monday
- lesson3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 (Wasaki・Nakagawa)
  Overviews of relationships between plants and environments mainly
  from the chemical aspects, where the latest studies of stress
  environments such as nutrients, toxic elements, acid soil will
  be exampled.

Tuesday
- lesson2, 4, 6, 8, 10,12,14 (Kuga・Katsuyama）
  Overviews of the symbiotic relationships between plants and
  microbes. The definitions and examples of the symbioses (e.g.
  mutualism (mycorrhizas), parasitism (soil born disease)),
  biological networks, environmental factors influencing the
  relationships, etc. will be introduced with the latest knowledge.
  An exersise of image analysis using ImageJ will be provided.

Attendance of both Monday and Tuesday classes are necessary.
