Main themes
The main effects of abiotic stresses (water, salt, thermal (low and high temperatures), mineral toxicities (aluminum and heavy metals, atmospheric pollution)) will be detailed. Resistance strategies will be explained with a few examples, focusing, from a kinetic perspective, on the mechanisms of perception of the stress agent, on the activation of transduction signals, on the expression of genes likely to contribute to the establishment of a resistance strategy and on the growth and development of plants. These aspects will be addressed at the level of the whole plant but also at the level of the field or population.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | Contribution of the teaching unit to the program's AA reference framework In line with the BOE2M program's competency framework, this teaching unit contributes to the development and acquisition of the following skills: 1 |
| 2 | Course-specific learning outcomes : The aim of the course is to show, at the genetic, biochemical and physiological levels, how the plant reacts to its environment, whether it is the establishment of advantageous or deleterious relationships with other living beings or mechanisms of resistance to abiotic constraints. |
Content
This course will focus on the interactions of plants with their abiotic environment. The main effects of abiotic stresses (hydric and thermal stresses, climatic changes, etc.) and mineral toxicities (salinity, heavy metals, iron toxicity, etc.) on plant growth and development and the physiological, biochemical and genetic strategies implemented by the plant to respond to them will be described in detail.
Teaching methods
Theoretical lectures in auditorium and practical work in greenhouses, lab and in the field.
Evaluation methods
The final mark is made up of the mark of the theoretical examination (oral examination) and the mark of the practical work (written report).
The mark for the theoretical examination is worth 15/20 of the final mark and the mark for the practical work is worth 5/20 of the final mark.
Participation in practical work, tutorials and exercises is mandatory and essential to validate the teaching unit.
Any unjustified absence entails a penalty on the EU examination which may go as far as the cancellation of the examination mark for the relevant study year (0/20).
In the event of repeated and even justified absences, the teacher may propose to the jury to oppose the registration for the EU examination in accordance with article 72 of the EGRR.
