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

Syllabus and other information

Grading criteria

The final grade is based on the individual's performance in the examination as well as in the mandatory seminars and practicals. In order to pass the course all mandatory elements have to be fulfilled.

Module 1
The module is examined by written exam in the end of the course.

Module 2
Seminars are examined with active participation in mandatory scheduled activities and a presentation in the end of the course, where deep understanding of the presented original research activity is expected. Student who fail in the presentation will be offered a second opportunity after the course and if wanted the possibility to give the seminar the following time the course is given.

Module 3
The module is examined with active participation in mandatory scheduled activities and reports to be handed in before the end of the course.

Final grade is decided when all of the three modules have been done and individual grades for the modules are decided.
