| BOTA0403-1 | Signal transduction pathways in plants
|
|
| Duration : | 25h Th, 25h Pr |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Jacques Dommes, Patrick Motte, Claire Périlleux |
|
| Coordinator : | Jacques Dommes |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course is focused on brassinosteroid signalling. The experimental work is summarized from the very beginning, the isolation of the first insensitive mutants, to the most recent data. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The aim of the course is to illustrate how signalling cascades can be dissected. Brassinosteroids are used as an example, because their relatively 'short' story - started about 10 years ago - is straightforward. This interactive work with student will require introduction of some theoritical concepts - for example about hormone receptors - and of practical methodologies (gene cloning, etc ...). Each teacher will therefore be involved in more specific parts. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Good knowledge in Plant Physiology, Molecular Biology and Genetics. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| After a general introduction, the schedule is based on reading selected papers in the afternoon and presenting them the next morning. On the last day, a model will be drawn to integrate all data shown. Organization of this course requires that at least three students attend. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Copy of Powerpoint slides. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The interactive organisation of the course will allow to evaluate student work according to their oral presentations (two for each student), their participation to discussions, etc. . |
