| Kurzbeschreibung | The colloquium introduces students to the disciplines in plant sciences and provides integrated knowledge from the molecular level to ecosystems and from basic research to applications, making use of the synergies between the different research groups of the PSC. The colloquium offers a unique chance to approach interdisciplinary topics as a challenge in the field of plant sciences. | ||||
| Lernziel | Major objectives of the colloquium are: introduction of graduate students and Master students to the broad field of plant sciences promotion of an interdisciplinary and integrative teaching program promotion of active participation and independent work of students promotion of presentation and discussion skills increased interaction among students and professors | ||||
| Inhalt | Challenges in Plant Sciences will cover the following topics: Chemical communication among plants, insect and pathogens. Specificity in hormone signaling. Genetic networks. Plant-plant interactions. Resilience of tropical ecosystems. Regulatory factors controlling cell wall formation. Chlorophyll breakdown. Innate immunity. Disease resistance genes. Sustainable agroecosystems. | ||||
| 551-0311-00L | Molecular Life of Plants | 6 KP | 4V | S. C. Zeeman, K. Bomblies, A. Rodriguez-Villalon, C. Sánchez-Rodríguez, O. Voinnet | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The advanced course introduces students to plants through a concept-based discussion of developmental processes that integrates physiology and biochemistry with genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. The course follows the life of the plant, starting with the seed, progressing through germination to the seedling and mature plant, and ending with reproduction and senescence. | ||||
| Lernziel | The new course "Molecular Life of Plants" reflects the rapid advcances that are occurring in the field of experimental plant biology as well as the changing interests of students being trained in this discipline. Contemporary plant biology courses emphasize a traditional approach to experimental plant biology by discussing discrete topics that are removed from the context of the plant life cycle. The course will take an integrative approach that focuses on developmental concepts. Whereas traditional plant physiology courses were based on research carried out on intact plants or plant organs and were often based on phenomenological observations, current research in plant biology emphasizes work at the cellular, subcellular and molecular levels. The goal of "Molecular Life of Plants" is to train students in integrative approaches to understand the function of plants in a developmental context. While the course focuses on plants, the training integrative approaches will also be useful for other organisms. | ||||
| Inhalt | The course "Molecular Life of Plants" will cover the following topics: Plant genome organization and evolution Plant functional genomics and systems biology Plant genome engineering and editing Seed development and embryogenesis Root apical meristem: structure, function and hormone regulation Shoot apical meristem: structure, function and hormone regulation Mobilization of seed reserves Heterotrophic to autotrophic growth Chloroplast biogenesis and light perception Photosynthetic and central carbon metabolism Integration of carbon and nitrogen metabolism Principles of RNA silencing MicroRNAs: discovery and modes of action RNA silencing and pathogen defense RNA silencing movement, amplification and trans-generational silencing Plants and the environment Plant-pathogen interactions: pathogen attack, first layers of plant defense and plant responses Senescence | ||||
| 551-0359-00L | Plant Biochemistry  Number of participants limited to 15. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration. General safety regulations for all block courses: -Whenever possible the distance rules have to be respected -All students have to wear masks throughout the course (keep reserve masks ready) -The installation and activation of the Swiss Covid-App is highly encouraged -Any additional rules for individual courses have to be respected -Students showing any COVID-19 symptoms are not allowed to enter ETH buildings and have to inform the course responsible | 6 KP | 7P | S.

| Kurzbeschreibung | In diesem Blockkurs nehmen Studierende an aktuellen Forschungsprojekten zum Pflanzenmetabolismus unter der Betreuung durch (Post-)Doktorierende teil. In einer begleitenden Serie von Vorlesungen wird der theoretische Hintergrund der Projekte vorgestellt. In einer abschliessenden Posterpräsentation diskutieren die Studierenden ihre Projekte und Ergebnisse. | ||||
| Lernziel | Durch die Betreuung in Kleinstgruppen (entweder einzeln oder in Zweier-Gruppen) lernen Studierende, molekularbiologische Experimente an Pflanzen durchzuführen, die Ergebnisse zu interpretieren, zu protokollieren und anderen zu kommunizieren. Dabei erhalten die Studierenden auch einen Einblick in den grösseren Zusammenhang ihrer Projekte und wie sie längerfristig geplant werden. | ||||
| Inhalt | Die Teilnahme an einem Projekt aus folgender Liste ist möglich: 1) Photosynthese: Wie wird Photosynthese reguliert und wie wird photoassimilierter Kohlenstoff in den Pflanzen verteilt? 2) Biologie der Chloroplasten: Wie entwickeln sich Chloroplasten und wie wird ihre Funktion mit der der gesamten Zelle abgestimmt? 3) Stärkebiosynthese und -abbau: Wie werden komplexe, semi-kristalline Stärkekörner aus Einfachzuckern hergestellt und wie zur Freisetzung von Energie wieder abgebaut? | ||||
| Skript | Kein Sript | ||||
| Literatur | Beschreibungen der möglichen Projekte inklusive Literatur zum Einlesen werden vorab ausgeteilt. | ||||
