Learning outcomes
|
To introduce students with selected leading scientists of worldwide significance in plant physiology who made key discoveries in this research area. The aim of this topic is to demonstrate students that even plant physiology, very often wrongly neglected area of plant research, is full of significant discoveries, which have impact in other scientific fields. The objective of the topic is to prepossess students for interest in scientific work in plant physiology. Also, this topic is addressed to students with high interest in plant physiology or in similar plant topics, and it could therefore complement topics such as Plant physiology (LRR/FZRSB) and Signaling pathways and membrane transport (LRR/SIGDT).
Students will realize that even research in plant biology can result in great discoveries, and that results of plant research have significant impact on human life.
