Fachkompetenzen:

After successfully completing the module, students have deepened their basic knowledge of molecular plant nutrition at the molecular level. They are able to describe the uptake of macro and micro elements from the soil, their distribution in the plant and the adaptation strategies of the plant to avoid deficiency and toxic concentrations. In addition, students can specify the transport systems and the associated metabolic processes. Students understand the importance of individual nutrients for the plant, the levels of regulation and obvious similarities and differences. Similarly, students are familiar with experimental approaches, with which the significance of individual genes are demonstrated for nutrient uptake and sensing. In particular, they know in detail the characteristics of the following nutrients: N, P, S, Ca, K, B, Si, Fe, Zn, Al. Finally, they are able to detect and correct nutrient deficiencies and can identify key genes and molecular correlations. In the accompanying seminar, students become acquainted with current scientific work in molecular plant nutrition.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

During preparation for the exam, while preparing and following up on lectures and while preparing their seminar presentation, students enhance their organizational skills, self-reliance and time management. They learn and practice both critical and analytical thinking and reading of scientific literature in the seminar, while generally improving their ability of exploring a scientific subject. While preparing the seminar, students improve their scientific articulateness and oral communication skills.
