Plant Stress Physiology
Georgios Liakopoulos, Panagiota Bresta
Any application related to the use of plant organisms, from agricultural production, cell culture in vivo, production of chemical compounds, up to the recombinant DNA technology, requires a robust background of knowledge related with the effects of stress factors on plant organisms, and their responses to cope with stress. This background also helps to understand the role of plant organisms on the planetary level, but also the impact of man-made activities and the changes they bring to the flora of the planet (and thus to the survival of the human species). The acquisition of this background allows the exploitation of plant organisms by knowledgeable scholars who respect the planet that hosts us.
The course consists of three sections. Section I refers to abiotic (including anthropogenic) stressors. Section II refers to biotic stressors and Section III includes stress factor interactions and biotechnological applications.
