Learning outcomes
|
To introduce selected topics of plant physiology supplemented with recent literature data. The subject is complements two other subjects, namely basic course of Plant physiology (LRR/FZRSB), Growth and development of plants(LRR/RVR), and Signaling pathways and membrane transport (LRR/SIGDT). The course is dedicated to students with particular interest in plant physiology.
Graduated student should be able: - to obtain overview about the use of model plants in modern biology - to obtain basic knowledge about gene expression in plants - to define role of light and phytochromes in plant growth and development - to describe plant responses to blue light and obtain overview about blue light receptors - to obtain overview about the complexity of auxin signaling pathways - to describe basic principles of interaction between light and auxin signaling pathways - to characterize plant hormones brassionosteroids and describe their signaling pathways - to characterize plant hormon abscisic acid (ABA) and describe its signaling pathways - to describe basic principles of interaction between light and abiotic stress signaling
