Module contents
Part of this module is a lecture that adresses several topics of modern plant molecular biology. The main focus is on plant developmental genetics, plant/environment interactions and the underlying molecular mechanisms of gene regulation in plants. At the beginning of the module, the students will present diverse molecular biology techniques and the latest developments in the field in a "method and techniques" seminar. In a "literature" seminar, the students will present and discuss a recent publication on one of the above-mentioned topics.
Literaturempfehlungen
Literature will be handed out at the beginning of the course.
