|
| Duration : | 30h Th, 20h Pr |
|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Patrick Motte, Claire Périlleux |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | The main aim of the lectures is to illustrate the uniqueness of the plant cell at different levels of organisation. Although basic biochemistry is conserved among eukaryotes, students should be able to understand the plastic response of plants at both cellular and molecular levels. |
|
| Course objective : | In the first part of the course, a variety of topics will be discussed to emphasize the uniqueness of the plant cell : membrane, plastid organelle, vacuoles, endomembrane system, cytoskeleton and the cell wall. The functional aspects of the cellular compartments are highlighted : membrane transport, photosynthesis, cell-cell communication,...
The second part is devoted to the cell differenciation and histology with the description of some tissues.
In the last part, the cellular concepts explained in the previous chapters are used to describe the whole plant and the mineral nutrition, carbohydrate metabolism and long-distance transport. |
|
| Workshops : | Practical courses are organized during 6 afternoons and will deal with :
- the plant cell
- photosynthesis
- mineral nutrition
Students are organized in two series. |
|
| Organization : | The duration of one lecture is 1.5 h, and lectures are given during the second quadrimestre (monday and friday, from 10.30 to 12 AM) by P. Motte (1st and 2nd parts) and C. Périlleux (3rd part). Schedule will be sent out to all students. |
|
| Written notes : | Lectures are given by using laptop and presentation software which allow a wide distribution of the diaporamas. |
|
| Assessment : | Examination details will be defined at the beginning of the academic year. A single examination will be organized for both teachers. |
