Time

Name of Teacher

Kazuya Kobayashi

Specific Goals

Recent developments in molecular biology allowed the fusion ofdevelopmental biology and evolutionary biology, creating a new discipline
called 'EvoDevo'. The evolutionary theory that began with Darwin's "The
Origin of Species" is no longer a theory, but a study of solid facts. The
objective evidence (commonality) engraved in the gene, which is theblueprint of life, certainly demonstrated that the organisms were given
rised from a monophyletic evolution. When we consider the studies
following the success of EvoDevo that unraveles evolution from thegenome, we can expect the era of molecular evolution ecology ('EvoEco') to
unravel evolution from the behavior of the organism itself. In this course,
students will understand the findings of recent research on evolution fromthe three perspectives of "ecology", "developmental biology" and"reproductive biology" and discuss next-generation biological research.

Technology to gain and improve the knowledge has also developed muchduring the history. In this class, every participant is expected to gain
experience in reinterpretting their own research aims from the historicalpoint of view. After careful consideration on what is new and what isscientifically interesting in their own research, they would be expected to
be able to persuade others to understand the significance of their research.
In this class, participants would also learn some essential features ofscientific writing.

The aim of this cource is to understand the evolution of the organelles
originated from intracellular symbiosis and various intraclellularsymbioses that are widely distributed in nature.
Intracellular symbioses are one of driving forces of the evolution of
eukaryotic cells; they are also widespread in nature and play importantroles in ecosystems. This cource first introduces the evolution of
mitochondria and plastid, both of which were originated from intracellularsymbiosis. Then, it deals with various intracellular symbioses that arefound in nature today. Students are required to read concerned papers andto introduce them in the class.

development.
At present, a vast number of different plants are used for ornamental purposes,
which are several tens to several hundred times as many as food crops. Until now,efforts to introduce new species and cultivate new varieties have been continued.
In the process of introducing and developing new floriculrural plant resources inrecent years, the concept of susutainable use “conservation” has also been
indispensable. In this course, students will understand the basic knowledge andconcepts which are necessary when introducing and using new floriculrural plantresources (including new varieties produced by breeding).I also outline the current

This course will deal with "rural development".
(1) Students will understand the changes in rural develpoment after World War
II.
(2) Students will understand the significance of "sixth industrialization ofagriculture".
(3) Students will develop their ability to think how to developthe sustainability ofrural areas.
"Sixth industrialization of agriculture" means that farmers manage not only
agriculture but also business related to agriculture, for example, food processing,direct sales, and agricultural tourism.
It is difficult to develop rural areas only by agiculture in an urbanized country like
Japan, so sixth industrialization of agriculture plays an important part indeveloping rural areas, and also in increasing the underatanding of agriculture
and rural areas.
We will learn the changes in rural development and consider how to develop rural
areas by looking at various cases of sixth industrialization.
1. Changes in rural develpoment after World War II (first half)
2. Changes in rural develpoment after World War II (second half)
