- Introduction
-
The Plant Life & Environmental Science major is an academic field that explores the efficient production and use of edible, medicinal, and specialty crops: in other words, useful biomass. It provides basic education in cultivation, plant physiology, plant genetics, soil science, and biochemistry for the utilization of plant resources while cultivating experts/future academics through learning in applied fields (e.g. molecular science, genetic engineering, tissue culture, seed science, plant ecology, ecological restoration, agrochemicals, natural product analysis, biomass treatment). Theoretical and practical training is provided on genetic function research on plant development, environmental stress adaptability, high yields, and high quality. The major also produces plant biotechnology researchers and plant breeding technicians through theoretical and practical training on molecular breeding methods (e.g. traditional breeding technology, genetic modification technology (GMO), gene editing, molecular marker development). Furthermore, to address environmental problems through theoretical and practical education on agrochemicals, natural product chemistry, seeds, ecology, and environmental restoration for the sustainability of agriculture and natural ecosystems, the major fosters experts who are capable of making meaningful contributions to the development of a safe and sustainable agricultural industry by securing the safety of agri-foods, utilizing useful biomass resources, and gaining an in-depth understanding of agriculture in general. To make graduates more knowledgeable of climate/environmental changes, as required by our times, the major offers courses on bioenergy (ethanol, diesel, methane, and gas) and fossil fuel alternatives via biochemical conversion of the biomass byproducts of the agricultural industry. It also contributes to the development of the economy and agricultural industry by fostering agriculture experts, through interdisciplinary education, who can lay the foundation for smart, sustainable agriculture in Korea.
