Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of main issues related to the plant physiology and proteomics, with particular attention to plant's responses to abiotic stresses and signal transduction. The student will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of plant biology and proteomics techniques.
Assessment criteria of knowledge

Syllabus
The first part of the course provides notions on plant physiology. The course also approach the main issue related to the physiological processes in plants through a molecular biology approach that includes strategies of gene over-and under- expression, analysis of gene promoters and their involvement in these processes. It will also address the physiological characterization of transgenic plants. Finally proteomics will be addressed both theoretically and practically.
