What are trees? How can trees survive in a changing environment? This lecture will introduce the related anatomical and physiological characteristics of the trees. Food crops, including cereals, beans and tuber crops have been globally traded in the 21st century. To know how the balance of food supply and demand have been changed is very important to predict future agriculture and food industry. In this lecture The food demand, production, and a self-sufficiency ratio in Japan and the world will be shown using statistical data. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

This mechanism is defined as the ability of such plants to survive extracellular freezing, which is frequent in species found in locations where freezing events are severe and of long duration (Sierra-Almedia et al., 2010). In the present seminar class, at first, tea plant is generally introduced with its vulnerability to frost damages from the micrometeorological perspective. Second, we show how to evaluate FT of tea plant based on the results from our case study at an experimental tea garden in Kochi Prefecture in Japan. Third, we will present the seasonality of FT in tea using two measures, electrolyte leakage and the ice nucleation temperature of tea leaves. YAMADA Yozo 山田 容三 September 29, 2016 (Thursday) 10:30~12:00 Work Accidents and Occupational Safety Management in Japanese Forestry Forestry is the most dangerous occupation in Japan because of its high accidents’ rate. As working condition has been improved by introduction of high performance forestry machines and rejuvenation of forestry workers, the features of accidents have been changing for the last decade. This lecture aims to learn characteristic working conditions of mountainous forestry, to understand the changes of working accidents, and to discuss desired occupational safety managements for work safety in Japanese forestry. Oxidative protein folding systems in plant cells Disulphide transfer pathways play critical roles in the development of protein storage organelles and the biogenesis of chloroplasts. Disulphide bond formation requires the cooperative function of disulphide-generating enzymes and disulphide carrier proteins. This lecture focuses on recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms and functions of the various disulphide transfer pathways involved in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum and chloroplasts of plants. Current fish disease problems in Kochi Prefecture, Japan Koi herpesvirus disease by Cyprinid herpesvirus 3, coldwater disease by Flavobacterium psychrophilum, and white spot disease by Cryptocaryon irritans have been experienced in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. CyHV-3 causes lethal disease in common and koi carp, but mortality by this disease has not been reported since 2011 in any rivers. Common carp harboring CyHV-3 DNA without producing infectious virus inhabited the Kagami River, the Monobe River, and the Wajiki River in 2013, indicating the possibility that CyHV-3 may be reactivated in the carrier carp in future. Ayu is a popular angling fish in Japan. A large number of artificial juvenile ayu reared in hatcheries are released every year in the Kagami River to enhance ayu stocks. In late June 2014, there was a mass die-off of ayu in the upper reaches of the Kagami Dam, and coldwater disease is thought to have been responsible. In fact, F. psychrophilum isolates were detected in normal-appearing ayu over 2014 and 2015, and were almost identified as genotype A/G-C with strong pathogenicity to ayu. The Nomi Bay is a famous production area of greater amberjack. Mortality by white spot disease occurred in the bay in early October and late November 2015. The greater amberjack fry imported from southern China was suspected as the source of the causative agent.

Additionally, the feeding is critical in the animal growth and production. Many researchers have interest in this research field. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of feeding has not been clarified yet. The theme of this seminar is to introduce the current topic in the studies of feeding regulation in animals. For the explanation, the topic is focused on the neuropeptides in the brain. Finally, the new findings in the feeding regulation of chicks are introduced as an example of domestic animals.

While the global demand has been decreasing, the global supply has not been decreasing. It is said the global surplus of oil demand is 1.5 million barrels per day. The crude oil production has been creasing in the US, owing to the shale revolution, though it has recently decreased. The US is the oil import country, but it is exporting the crude oil produced in the US. These factors give the impact to the global energy market. In this course we analyze the relations between the shale revolution in the US and the international energy market. Undecided Undecided Applied and Basic Enzymology (Part 1) Some basidiomycetes (white-rot fingi) are the only known organisms that can completely break down the recalcitrant plant cell wall constituent lignin to carbon dioxide and water. Lignin is a heterogeneous biopolymer that occurs in woody and vascular tissues, and highly resistant towards chemical and biological degradation. In this lecture, an overview of the properties of basidiomycetous mushrooms and the lignin-degrading enzymes produced by basidiomycetes will be discussed. *ユニットの代表者には,名前の前に○印 Food Science (食糧科学) Unit13 Food Science 1 OKAZAKI Katsuichiro 岡崎 勝一郎 ABE Shunnosuke 阿部 俊之助 WATANABE Yasuo 渡部 保夫 ○ ASADA Yasuhiko 麻田 恭彦 TAKATA Goro 高田 悟郎 WATANABE Akira 渡邉 彰 MORIMOTO Kenji 森本 兼司 WATANABE Seiya 渡邉 誠也 ASADA Yasuhiko 麻田 恭彦 WATANABE Akira 渡邉 彰 December 26, 2016 (Monday) 15:30~17:00 (Part 2) Alanine racemase requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a coenzyme, and catalyzes the interconversion between L- and D-alanine.

Chemical compounds that possess tumor promoting activity are known as tumor promoters. This lecture will provide an overview of chemistry and biology of naturally-occurring tumor promoters, and their application for medicinal drugs. Allelopathy is one expression of the general phenomenon of chemical interaction and is probably of widespread significance in the functioning of natural communities. In fact, a number of plants repress inhibitory effects on the growth of neighboring or successional plants by releasing allelopathic chemicals into the soil, either as exudates from living tissues or by decomposition of plant residues. Although allelopathic science is a relatively new field of study, there exists convincing evidence that allelopathic interactions between plants play a crucial role in both natural and manipulated ecosystems. KATO Hisashi 加藤 尚 August 26, 2016 (Friday) 10:30~12:00 Allelopathy KIMURA Yoshio 木村 義雄 August 25, 2016 (Thursday) 15:00~16:30 Signal transduction system of bacteria. In this lecture, I will explain about signal transduction system of bacteria. Living organisms sense and respond to environmental conditions using an array of signal transduction systems. Protein phosphorylation is a key mechanism by which environmental signals are transmitted to cause changes in protein expression or activity in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. I will introduce an outline of protein kinases and protein phosphatases in bacteria. Intracellular amino acid recycling Eukaryotic cells possess degradative organelle called vacuole (in microorganism and plants) or lysosome (in animals). Upon nitrogen starvation, these organelles degrade cytosolic proteins via autophagic pathway. Generated amino acids are exported to the cytosol for protein synthesis. Autophagic protein degradation has attracted increasing attentions in recent years because of its pathological implications and therapy potentials. The basic research using yeast cells has provided great progress in understanding the molecular basis of autophagy. This lecture will provide the basic of molecular mechanism and physiology of autophagy. I will also focus on the molecular machinery of amino acid transport system across the vacuolar/lysosomal membrane and their emerging physiological significance as recent topics. The fine structure of wood and wood properties Wood is a human- and eco-friendly material. Therefore, wood material market is also increasing and demands are higher. Especially, surfacial uses are increasing, such as car interior, cell phone casing, lump shade and so on. Many physical and chemical modifications of wood meeting these demands, adding high values, are carried out for more and more applications. In this lecture, I will introduce novel materials made from wood. These materials have special properties such as optical transparency, self-healing, moisture control and so on. This lecture will focus not only on the utility value of these properties, but also on how the mechanism that changes the fine structure of wood, is linked to each property. Functions and potentials of paper Recently, the consumption of paper is decreasing and decreasing because of the spread of electronic devices such as smart phones. However, paper is used in everywhere in our daily life and we can give various functions to paper. In this class, I will introduce the bases paper production technique, types, history of paper and current situation of paper industry. Then, some cutting-edge papers will be introduced, for example, paper which have gas barrier ability and can be used as plastic films and we will consider the potential of paper.

R. solanacearum is a soil-borne bacterium that normally invades plant roots from the soil through wounds or natural openings where secondary roots emerge, colonizes intercellular spaces of the root cortex and vascular parenchyma, and eventually Biofilm formation by Ralstonia solanacearum , leading to its virulence enters xylem vessels and spreads up into stems and leaves through the xylem. During colonization in intercellular spaces of tomato plants, R. solanacearum strain OE1-1 forms biofilms on tomato cells, contributing to its virulence. In this seminar, I elucidate mechanisms of biofilm formation by R. solanacearum cells, leading to an innovative development of control system on the bacterial wilt disease. 1. 2.

Arsenic polluted groundwater has been identified in more than 70 countries worldwide, including Bangladesh, India, China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. As many as 200 million people live in areas of high geogenic arsenic contamination, and many have no other drinking or irrigation water supply, especially during the dry season. Moreover, increasing irrigation of crop land with arsenic enriched groundwater results in elevated arsenic content of soil and rice, causing further exposure risk even to the people in arsenic unaffected areas. This class will make a commentary on arsenic issues in groundwater and soil. Aquaculture is emerging as a revolution in agriculture of global importance to humankind; however, aquaculture farms in enclosed coastal regions of temperate areas are threatened by blooms of harmful algae. When proliferating in coastal waters, the harmful algae sometimes cause mass mortality of cultured and wild fish. The economic damage to the aquaculture industry is severe and occasionally exceeds \1 billion. I, in this lecture, explain the ecological and physiological characteristics of harmful algae and hope that you’ll understand how harmful algae form blooms.
