1. |
Outline |
|
This class will provide several topics on plant molecular biology, including seed germination and vegetative growth; flower development and reproductive growth; responses to environmental factors; current topics of biotechnology and plant molecular biology.

2. |
Objectives |
|
This class aims to provide an understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in growth regulation and responses to environmental factors in plants, including plant evolution and structure; plant growth and development; flowering and flower development; responses to environmental factors; plant biotechnology such as GMO.
