Molecular Plant Development & Stress Biology

Molecular Plant Development & Stress Biology

Description

The course focuses on the study of molecular biology and plant development, emphasizing the mechanisms that regulate growth at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels. Students are introduced to fundamental concepts such as intercellular communication, hormones and molecular signals that interact with environmental factors to determine growth patterns. Additionally, the course examines embryogenic stages of development, the development of stems, leaves, roots, and flowers, as well as the molecular mechanisms of plant responses to abiotic stresses.

The course covers methods and technologies in molecular biology, such as mutagenesis and mutation analysis, as well as the role of small RNAs in regulating developmental processes. Students gain the ability to analyze and collaborate on solving contemporary challenges in agriculture through molecular interventions. Furthermore, the course strengthens skills in critical analysis, autonomous and teamwork, project design, and access to scientific resources.
