| Goals | The objective of this lecture is to get detailed knowledge about plant growth regulators (phytohormone), general physiological and metabolic features and the relations between stress and plant growth regulators. |
| Course Content | The term of plant growth rergulators (phytohormone), Auxins: Metabolism, physiology and signal transduction, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid, Ethylene, Brassinosteroids, Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid, Strigolactones, Polyamines, Interactions between plant growth regulators and stress, Presentation and discussion about scientific papers |
| Learning Outcomes |
- 1. To learn the structure and characteristics of plant growth regulators and roles of them in plant metabolism. - 2. To benefit from the mechanism of action of the plant growth regulators to solve the problem about plant biology - 3. To learn the relationships of plant growth regulators with each other. - 4. To understand the connection between plant growth regulators and biotic and abiotic stresses. - 5. To make students follow current developments in this field of research by reading/discussing new research papers and to evaluate. - 6. To be able to share information about plant stress physiology by oral and written language. - 7. To understand experimental logic, analysis and the problem solving of the relations between plant and stress. |
