Molekulare Pflanzenphysiologie - Wasserhaushalt und Stoffwechsel

What it is about

You will learn central processes of the plant water balance, lipid and sulfur metabolism, and aspects of nitrogen balance. In the end you will be able to describe experimental approaches to investigate these topics, critically interpret experimental data, and develop your own investigative approaches.

What you will be able to do

• Analytical and experimental approaches
• plant water balance
• structure and biochemistry of plant surfaces
• plant sulfur balance
• plant lipid metabolism
• critical review of scientific publications
• presentation techniques

What the module consists of

• LectureConveying the central topic areas (water balance, lipid metabolism, sulfur and nitrogen balance) and methodological fundamentals
• SeminarEngagement with current research publications and imparting presentation practice

Teaching method

• Lecture and Seminarfor theory transmission, discussion of current research findings and practicing scientific presentations
• Study of lecture script and notes as well as interaction with instructorsfor deepening the lecture material and clarification of open questions
• Presentations (PowerPoint), whiteboard notes, script (download option)for visualizing content and supporting independent study
