An
in-depth review of the current status of plant hormone research. All aspects
of plant hormones including biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology
will be considered in the context of an overall scheme of how plants use
the various hormones to integrate developmental and environmental signals.
Practical aspects of plant hormones will be discussed so that students
get a feeling for how basic research can impact modern agriculture. In
addition to the text, key research papers will be discussed. The course
is organized into modules. Each module will start with a lecture on the
basic aspects of the topic. Subsequent class periods will then be focused
on primary literature. Students will be assigned papers which will then
be discussed in a "journal club" format. Upon completion of
the course, the student should be familiar with the state of the art for
all of the major plant growth regulators. |
