Plant Adaptations to Climate Changes

Plant Adaptations to Climate Changes

Description

The course aims to provide participants with a solid scientific and technical education, including objectives such as:

  • Understanding the eco-physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms of plant interaction with the environment;
  • Identifying environmental and economic challenges faced by modern agriculture in the context of climate change;
  • Exploring innovative technologies to promote sustainability.

In turn, the applied dimension of the course is expected to contribute to fulfilling the strategic choice of the Department of Biology, as identified in the document “Strategic Development in the Medium and Long Term – Reflection on the Educational Offer to Project for the Future of DB – UM” (January 2022). This involves strengthening the line of the Molecular and Environmental Biology Center “Biodiversity and global changes in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems,” within which strategies for controlling infections and the sustainable use of phytosanitary products are explored.
