- Content
-
The focus of this area is on plant stress physiology, plant-environment interactions, and climate resilience. The content encompasses plant stress responses and resilience mechanisms across both temperate and tropical systems. By integrating expertise in sustainability science and environmental stewardship, the course addresses stress mitigation, functional traits, and sustainable plant improvement. Students explore how physiological principles are applied to climate adaptation and the management of sustainable production systems.
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
Students will:
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of plant stress responses and resilience mechanisms.
• Apply physiological principles to sustainable plant improvement.
• Develop conceptual and analytical skills needed to evaluate plant-environment interactions.
• Critically assess how stress mitigation strategies contribute to climate adaptation.
• Apply this knowledge to sustainable production systems and wider ecological outcomes.
