| 551-0311-00L | Molecular Life of Plants | 6 KP | 4V | S. C. Zeeman, W. Gruissem, 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 in a developmental context: Plant genome organization Seed anatomy Food reserves and mobilization Seedling emergence Heterotrophic to autotrophic growth Chlorophyll biosynthesis, photoreceptors Integration of metabolism Hormones Cell cycle Cell differentiation and expansion Environmental interactions—abiotic Environmental interactions—biotic Flower development and fertilization Embryo and seed development Fruit development Senescence | ||||
| 551-1309-00L | RNA-Biology  Number of participants limited to 26. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration. | 6 KP | 7G | B. Mateescu, F. Allain, C. Beyer, J. Corn, J. Hall, M. Jinek, S. Jonas, R. Santoro, O. Voinnet, K. Weis, A. Wutz | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to the diversity of current RNA-research at all levels from structural biology to systems biology using mainly model systems like S. cerevisiae (yeast), mammalian cells. | ||||
| Lernziel | The students will obtain an overview about the diversity of current RNA-research. They will learn to design experiments and use techniques necessary to analyze different aspects of RNA biology. Through lectures and literature seminars, they will learn about the burning questions of RNA research and discuss approaches to address these questions experimentally. In practical lab projects the students will work in one of the participating laboratories. Finally, they will learn how to present and discuss their data in an appropriate manner. Student assessment is a graded semester performance based on individual performance in the laboratory, the written exam and the poster presentation. | ||||
| Literatur | Documentation and recommended literature will be provided at the beginning and during the course. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course will be taught in English. | ||||
