| Learning outcomes |
|
This course will cover molecular basis of plant cell biology. The aim of this course is to augment student's knowledge about organelle and cellular structure of the plant cell, phytohormones and cellular signalling and molecular mechanisms of plants responses to environmental stress conditions. Methodological approaches linked to each subject will be mentioned as well.
