Course description
Plants are drivers of planetary function providing habitat, food and materials. Fundamentals of modern plant biology are placed in context of biodiversity and conservation, evolution and climate change, molecular and whole plant function, resource use and adaptation, interactions with symbionts and pathogens, reproduction and biotechnology. This course builds foundations for ecology, conservation and restoration, bioproduction systems, and future uses of plants for applications such as carbon farming and clean cities.
