Information from the course leader
Objectives
The course objectives are to introduce advanced university studies, provide an overview of the syllabus of the master-program, its content, and structure, provide the students with working skills that prepare them for further studies and future work.
After completing the course the students should be able to:
- list the different phythormones and describe their modes of action
- describe the way plant face biotic and abiotic stresses
- describe and list molecular players involved in plant development and response to environment.
Content
The course will give an introduction on anatomy and plant development. The course will provide the students with a basic knowledge on plant -signaling, -response to stress and environment.
The course lectures, exercises and lab work cover:
- basic plant biology, including plant physiology, metabolomic, genetics, and molecular genetics
- scientific presentations, in oral and in writing
Course evaluation

- If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
- The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
- If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
- For the examination of a degree project (independent project), the examiner may also allow the student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
