Objectives of the Course | |||||
To provide the students an overview of how plants perceive and transduce environmental signals and how they adapt to the different challenges. The course will provide the students the cultural and methodological tools for the critical analysis, and the understanding, of the molecular mechanisms of plant signal transduction. |
