Plant Nutrition: Concepts and Applications
Dr. Vitor L. Nascimento
Vacancies: 50
This short course aims to present the main concepts and applications of plant nutrition concerning plant physiology. To do this, we will talk from a theoretical and practical perspective about: (i) the most current concepts about the action of mineral nutrients in plants; (ii) how these concepts can be applied in a scenario of global climate change aiming to increasing and maintaining productivity; and (iii) how to plan experiments regarding plant nutrition (e.g. preparation of nutrient solutions; field experiments; foliar fertilization). Our target audience is students (undergraduate and graduate) and professionals who already work or intend to work in the area of plant physiology.Technique: Mutagenesis (EMS, Radiation, Tagging, and Editing), Introgression, Genetic transformation.
Example:Planning of screening and experiments in Plant Physiology.
