Course Details
• Advanced Genetics in Plants: Understanding the genetic basis of evolution in plants, including genome organization, gene regulation, and epigenetics.
• Plant Systematics and Phylogenetics: Exploring the evolutionary relationships among plant groups, classification systems, and modern molecular techniques in systematics and phylogenetic analysis.
• Molecular Evolution of Plants: Investigating the genetic changes and mechanisms that drive the evolution of plants at the molecular level, including nucleotide substitutions, gene duplications, and selection pressures.
• Plant Population Genetics and Genomics: Analyzing the genetic structure, diversity, and gene flow in plant populations, and understanding the implications for evolution, conservation, and breeding.
• Coevolution of Plants and Interacting Organisms: Examining reciprocal evolutionary changes between plants and their interacting organisms, such as pollinators, herbivores, and pathogens.
• Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo): Investigating the genetic and developmental mechanisms that underlie plant morphological evolution, including the roles of regulatory genes and developmental modules.
• Plant Fossil Record and Paleobiology: Interpreting the evolutionary history of plants based on the fossil record and using modern paleobiological methods to reconstruct ancient environments and ecosystems.
• Applications of Evolutionary Biology in Plant Breeding and Conservation: Applying evolutionary principles and concepts to plant breeding programs, conservation strategies, and restoration ecology.
