Course description
In this foundational agricultural biochemistry course, you will explore the processes that regulate energy and information pathways in animals and plants, with a special focus on agriculturally important species. Additionally, you'll study the biochemistry of nutrients and energy sources in different biological contexts and examine how domestication and artificial selection within agriculture have influenced the genetic code and protein synthesis. This course will be last offered in external mode in 2024.
