Course goals
At the end of the course, students should have a profound understanding of: The molecular and physiological mechanisms employed by plants to adjust themselves to their light environment.
 
At the end of the course, students should be able to: Analyze, present and integrate primary literature on plant-environment interactions.
Content
A general lecture on plant-environment interactions will set the stage for an advanced-level course on how plants adjust to their most important environmental factor: light. Although plants rely fully on light as their energy source, they often struggle with temporal and spatial variations in the abundance of this resource. Both excess and shortage of light can be very harmful to plants. Students will study the latest developments in plant plasticity towards variations into light quality and quantity.
