| HORT 55100 - Cellular And Molecular Plant Physiology |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. HORT 55100 is a course in plant physiology that integrates physiological concepts with plant cell and molecular biology. The course places biophysical concepts of plant physiology such as water relations, energetics, source-sink relationships, chemiosmotic gradients, light responses, and stress physiology in the context of gene expression, cellular topology, protein structure, protein trafficking and membrane characteristics. The course material emphasizes both plant and comparative systems biology approaches, and places a particular emphasis on post transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. Another objective of the course is to acquaint students with primary scientific literature and help them learn to read, evaluate, and discuss scientific research papers. A combined lecture and seminar format is used to cover general topics and bring students into contact with primary literature. The format acquaints students with regular reading and analysis of primary research literature and improves their ability to produce written summaries and reviews. A subset of class sessions are devoted to onsite exposure to cutting edge technologies presented by experts. Typically offered Fall.
