| Description | The Department of Plant Sciences is an outstanding University Centre for research in plant and microbial sciences. It offers unrivalled research and training opportunities in the following areas of plant and microbial science: cell function & responses to the environment; developmental biology & signalling; genetics and epigenetics; ecosystem function and conservation; evolution and diversity; microbiology & biotic interactions; plant pathology and epidemiology; systems and mathematical biology; enhancing photosynthesis; and biotechnology and engineering.
The aim of the course is to provide Masters level training in practical aspects of Plant Sciences, augmented by appropriate lecture courses delivered within the Department. The course provides training in a wide range of disciplines, which can include plant genetic engineering, plant development, plant molecular biology, plant biophysics, plant biochemistry, plant-microbe interactions, algal microbiology, plant ecology, crop biology, plant virology, plant epigenetics, epidemiology, plant taxonomy, plant physiology, eco-physiology and bioinformatics. | | |
