Students will be introduced to current concepts and recent advances in plant resistance mechanisms to freezing, moisture, salt and heat stress from the ecologic to molecular levels. Methods of stress application and viability testing will also be demonstrated. At the end of each stress section, guest scientists will be invited to present their research. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 1 Seminar/Discussion hours
