■ What is Department of Applied Biology?

The Department of Applied Biology at Jeonnam National University is composed of 3 main fields: Plant Pathology, Entomology, and Stress Biology. The educational goal at Department of Applied Biology is to foster professional individuals who learn both basic and applied sciences on plant response to pathogens, agricultural pests, and environmental stresses that significantly diminish plant and crop productivity.

Plant Pathology field focuses mainly on plant-pathogen (bacteria, fungi, virus) interactions, molecular genetics to understand mechanisms and biological control of plant diseases, and ecology and evolutionary biology of plant-associated microbes. Entomology field focuses mainly on the damage analysis and integrated pest management by the fundamental studies of classification, phylogeny, chitin biotechnology, and ecology of insect pests. Interactions between microbial natural enemy and insect pests are also studied for the eventual biological control of agricultural insect pests. Stress Biology field focuses mainly on the identification and determination of potential genes involved in plant responses to environmental stresses (drought, high and low temperatures, salt, UV), which would provide novel means to develop stress-tolerant agronomic crops.

The Department's curricula cover all necessary subjects for basic and applied sciences. We will educate students with a vision of becoming leading scientists in future agriculture.

■ What is Molecular Biotechnology?

A  broad  term of biotechnology is generally used to describe the use of biology in industrial processes such as agriculture, brewing, and drug development. The term also refers to the production of genetically modified organisms(GMOs) or the manufacture of products from genetically modified organisms. It involves the use of plants, animals, and micro-organisms to create products or processes. Traditional applications include animal breeding, brewing beer with yeast, and cheese making with bacteria. Recent developments include the use of enzymes or bacteria in a wide range of applications, including waste management, industrial production, food production and remediation of contaminated land. Modern biotechnology, molecular biotechnology, also includes the use of gene technology, which allows us to move genetic material from one species to another. Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, and cell biology.

■ Major in Molecular Biotechnology

Molecular Biotechnology focuses on the study of regulation and function of genes at the levels of DNA, RNA, and protein in living organisms.

Biotechnology aims to expand its usefulness by identifying and cloning new genes and traits, developing new diagnostic tests, and continuing to use these tools to better understand plants, animals, and microorganisms that make up the world.

■ What is Bioenergy Science and Technology?

Global demand for energy has tremendously increased due to the accelerated growth of the human population and the improvement of human life. Although natural gas and atomic energy have been utilized to supply a portion of the energy demand, petroleum resources will become depleted within this century. In addition, the increased consumption of fossil fuels will steadily increase emissions of carbon dioxide, augmenting greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Thus, energy and the environment are inextricably linked. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels and imported oil is a challenge of vital importance to national security, the economy, and the environment. Bioenergy, based on biomass, has drawn attention as a sustainable energy source that may help cope with the rising prices of fossil fuels, and address environmental concerns about greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy science and technology is about basic biological and biochemical science on plant biomass and enabling technology, not only for the improvement of the yield and quality of cellulosic biofuels and biodiesels, but also for the production of biofuels.

■ Department of Bioenergy Science and Technology

The Department of Bioenergy Science and Technology was newly established in 2010 and selected as part of the World Class University (WCU) system by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. We will establish a pioneering education system for expanding learning opportunities from various academic backgrounds, such as plant biology, molecular biology, chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, biochemical engineering, and bioprocess engineering. This innovative education system is intended to accelerate basic research in the development of sustainable bioenergy, including cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels. The final aim of this new department is to provide experts with scientific and technological knowledge that will afford economic and social benefits to agriculture and the environment and, thus, improve the quality of life.
