Physiologie molÈculaire du dÈveloppement

The objective is to understand plant development at the molecular level through integrative approach combining molecular genetics, genomics, cell biology, physiology, bioinformatics. This introductory course will showcase major breakthroughs in various plant development processes including flowering, seed and fruit development, sugar and hormone signaling, plant nutrition and response to cold. This will also be illustrated in a 22 h practicals where students will have the opportunity to investigate the molecular response of a germinating seed.
