Course objectives
At the end of this course the student will be able to: understand and explain the basic and specialized mechanisms activated during anti-stress responses of plants.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to: (1) use basic terminology in plant stress physiology (2) describe methods used for study of particular stress factors (3) describe special acclimatory mechanisms activated during stress in plants (4) be familiar with recent trends in plant stress physiology
Syllabus
  • Lectures on the subject   Stress Plant Physiology, will cover the following main topics of the special physiology of plants: (1) The history of stress research, general theory of stress, Selye H. (2) Stress at   plants at subcellular, cellular, organ, holistic (3) Stress factors, classification of biotic, abiotic factors, methods of measurement (4), signal transduction, molecular biological foundations of anti-stress reaction (5) Stress proteins, antioxidants - anti-stress response mechanisms (6) Stress   lack / excess of available water (mechanisms to avoid stress) (7) stress of substrate salinity, osmotic stress (8) Stress caused by toxic and foreign substances (9) Stress caused by cold, frost (10) Thermal stress (heat effects of physical, chemical, mol.biologické) (11) Radiation stress (regularly, classification, mechanisms of formation, mechanisms fooprotektivní) (12) Acclimation / adaptation to stress in extreme environments   (deep oceanic waters, submarine volcanic eruptions, oceanic coastal areas, an extremely toxic habitats, alpine and polar regions, and desert biomes, extraterestické systems)
