This course will help you gain a better understanding of plant regulatory
processes involved in growth and development and how these processes change
during plant interactions with the environment and with other organisms.

 

In fall 2011, we will discuss major advances in the field of plant signaling
during growth and development and in plant interactions with the
environment, pathogens, and insects.  Along the way, we will interpret
formative experiments and identify key outstanding questions for these
interactions.  Through the use of comparative studies at the molecular,
genetic, and genomic levels, we will identify evolutionary changes in key
molecular players that form the basis for these interactions. 

 

An equally important goal will be to foster development of the skills needed
to critically evaluate the primary research literature and effectively
communicate scientific concepts orally and in writing.
