Předpoklady
The course will teach advanced knowledge related to content described below. Be aware that basic knowledge in plant biology is a must. The course may be too advanced to Bachelor students.

In the spring term 2024, the course is cancelled due to the low number of enrolled students.

Omezení zápisu do předmětu
Předmět je otevřen studentům libovolného oboru.
Cíle předmětu
The course developed the current knowledge about plant hormones and their role in plant development and stress response. At the end of the course, the student will master the notions of homeostasis and signaling pathways of these hormones during specific developmental processes. After this course, the student will be able to follow seminar and conference lectures and understand when the lecturer speaks about specific hormones pathways.
Výstupy z učení
At the end of the course, the student should understand the basic principles of plant development and the role and influence of hormones. Student will be able to identify basic differences and common principles of the different hormones metabolism and action and (s)he will be able to demonstrate them on the basic developmental processes of plants.
