Course content
|
Student will get key word corresponding with the topic. Based on the key words, students will find a study recent research articles (max. 5 years old). The topic will ne discussed , so the students and lecturer will discuss the information (based on their previous homework study) about the topic. Next week, the lecturer will have a talk about the topic. For a good contribution to the discussion, the student will get one point. There will be five discussion meetings. Selected topics 1) Signal transduction of plant hormones brassinosteroids in plants and steroids in animals 2) Comparison of function of gene COP1 in plant photomorphogenesis and tomorigenesis in animals 3) Boron transport in plants and animals - its role in growth and development 4) The role of photoreceptor CRY1 in plants and insect
