Aims

To expose the bases of plant development biology on the aspects of genetics, biochemistry and physiology. Emphasis is particularly put on reproduction and the multiple strategies used by plants to realize their development cycle in changing environments.

Main themes

The course examines in detail the genetic, biochemical and physiological bases of different processes of development. The themes developped are new or have only been overlooked in the past years of study.

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Prerequisistes: Plant phyiology (BIOL 2180), Plant morphogenesis (BIOL 2183), basics in cellular and plant biology.

Evaluation: oral examination for theorical part, report and dicsussion for practical part.

Support: books, articles and/or syllabus, on-line available data.
