Ateneo - UPO

The plant biochemistry module presents some investigation methods normally used and the use of enzymes for the enhancement of plant biomass. Metabolic processes involved in plant responses to stresses are also explored.

No textbooks are available. Scientific papers, whose references will be provided during the lessons, and the slides will represent the teaching materials.

Acquire the ability to support a science-based discussion of issues related to plant biomass utilization and biochemical responses to stress.

Basic knowledge in biochemistry and Photosynthesis

Frontal lessons in the classroom.

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learning-disabilities Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects.

Module Plant Biochemistry: the student will answer to a series of questions and discuss a further elaboration of an assigned topic

Plant Biochemistry: Enzymatic vaporization of plant biomasses and plant protein content. Production of high value-added molecules Metabolic processes to abiotic and biotic stresses responses. Methods in plant biochemistry, multi-omics approaches to study plant metabolic responses.

Students will be able to learn about biochemical mechanisms related to plant biomass conversion and stress responses.
