MSc Plant Sciences
MSc Crop Sciences (Arbeitstitel)
Inhalte des Moduls
Mechanisms of nutrient uptake and translocation within the plant (root and foliar uptake); effects
of nutritional stresses (deficiencies and toxicities) alone and in combination with environmental
stresses (chilling, drought, salt; interactions leading to forest decline); environmental factors
controlling nutrient uptake; rhizosphere located processes controlling nutrient availability and
uptake; incorporation of nutrients into plant metabolism (N, S, P); controlling plant growth and
development by nutrient supply; effects of fertilizer application on crop quality; experimental
approaches in physiological plant nutrition: experimental designs: pro’s and con’s, possible
biases
Lernziele des Moduls
Participants should gain a fundamental understanding of physiological processes governing
nutrient uptake and nutrient functions in plants. They should furthermore know about adaptive
mechanisms to compensate for low or excessive levels of nutrients and toxic elements. They
should be able to address the consequences of nutrient stresses, as well as know effects of
multiple nutritional and combined nutritional/environmental stresses. Participants should be able
to set up standard experiments to solve questions related to nutrient uptake, translocation and
adaptation to limited nutrient supply and/or toxicities, being aware of possible experimental
biases.
