到達目標【英語】 Objectives of the Course | | This course provides introduction into both animal and plant physiology in the context of development.
First part of the course covers the basics of developmental biology focused on the animal side. The goal is to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms by which a single fertilized cell becomes an embryo. The course begins with the concepts and the tools and studies how each body part forms, by which signaling cascades between tissues, organs, cells as well as within the cells.
The second part of the course starts with an overview of plant biology. We will go through the basics of plant growth and learn why plant development is indeterminate, in contrast to animal development. We will examine how plants control their development through the action of specific plant growth substances and understand their signaling pathways. Details of plant reproduction and development of specialized plant structures highlight differences between plant and animal development and illustrate how remarkable plant development can be.
The course also aims to teach how each model organism has contributed to particular discovery and understanding in development so as to learn to appreciate the uniqueness and difference in model systems. |
