ASCI 74403 - (was 7344) Plant Hormonal Biology

Three credit hours.

Was ASCI 7344. Provides fundamental knowledge about major classes of phytohormones (auxins, ABA, ethylene, gibberellins, cytokinins) as well as new plant hormones such as brassinosteroid, strigolactones jasmonates. The structure and function of all classes of plant hormones will be discussed in some detail, and the interactions and cross-talks between different phytohormones will be highlighted. Special attention will be given to the regulation of phytohormone biosynthesis for biotechnological applications and agriculture.
