| Course contents : | Topics of the course are focused on molecular mechanisms of differenciation and development in multicellular organisms, plants and animals.
Aspects of plant development will include three main chapters: hormone signalling, photomorphogenesis, and the biological clock. Crosstalks will be illustrated by selected examples of developmental processes.
In the animal partim., we will cover the major principles and the basic notions of embryogenesis. We will present the molecular factors involved in the main signaling pathways implicated in development and the molecule families controlling cell differentiation and morphogenesis. We will compare and discuss the various approaches and techniques used on each animal model. Finally, formation of some organs from the three germ layers will be presented, as i.e. the development and patterning of the nervous system, of the muscles and of the pancreas. |
|
| Course objective : | The goal of the course is to give an overview of molecular mechanisms controlling the development of pluricellular organisms (plants and animals). |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good knowledge in biology and "classical" physiology (cfr course BIOL.0217 for partim. végétal, courses BIOL0203-2, BIOL0201-3, BIOL215-1 , BIOL216-1 for partim. animal).
Good knowledge in molecular biology and biochemistry (cfr cours GENE0201-2 , GENE0206-1 ou BIOC001-1) |
|
| Workshops : | Practical courses are integrated in the training periods scheduled on the second quadrimester. |
|
| Organization : | The course is planned during the first quadrimester, on friday afternoon. Weeks S1 to S7 are devoted to animal development (B. Peers), weeks S8 to S14 are devoted to plant development (C. Périlleux). |
|
| Written notes : | Power Point presentations. |
|
| Assessment : | One examination will be organized. Global success is given with a minimal evaluation of 10/20 with at least 8/20 for each partim. |
