Learning unit contents :
|
|||||||||||
| The course is devoted to the physiological control of plant growth and development 'from seed to seed'. Successive chapters concern : embryogenesis, germination, vegetative growth (root and shoot formation, nastic and tropic movements), transports, reproductive development (induction of flowering, floral morphogenesis) and fertilization. These different developmental steps are described from fundamental processes to ecophysiological controls. | |||||||||||
|
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
|
|||||||||||
| The aims of the course are : 1) to provide basic knowledge in plant physiology; 2) to teach the langage and methodological aspects that will enable students to understand plant physiology litterature, to teach related topics, and to take critical positions in scientific or ethical debates about plant uses. | |||||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
|||||||||||
| Basic knowledge in cellular and molecular biology. Prerequisite for students in BAC Biology: Course BIOL0214; corequisite for students in Master BBMC or BOE: Course BIOL0003 | |||||||||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|||||||||||
| During acadamic year 2016 - 2017, students will be involved in the writing of thematic teaching modules based on lecture presentations and other resources provided by the teacher.
Practicals are organised in 5 successive afternoons. Three groups of students follow successively the practicals during weeks # 2, 4 and 5 of second quadrimestre. Practicals consist in experimental work and data processing with R software that the students previously used in the 'Analyses informatiques' course. |
