Basic knowledge of Plant Physiology and plant metabolism
Acquisition of an integrative vision at the molecular, metabolic and physiological level of plant functioning based on the metabolic diversity of plants and their regulation through various internal and external factors.
Compartmentation of the plant cell
Energy transformation
Transport processes and their regulation in plants
Primary metabolism
Secondary metabolism: diversity and industrial uses
Experimental techniques in Plant Physiology and Metabolism:
-Growth analysis and phenotyping
-Membrane stability (stress marker)
-Water and ionic relations
- Fluorescence of chlorophylls
- Metabolism analysis
Presential and supervised activities and visit to an external institution:
The face-to-face activities are theory classes, seminars, laboratory practices and a visit to a research institution.
Supervised activities refer to the preparation of presentations at the seminar. Students can request personalized tutoring sessions from teachers
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
