Upon completion of the Plant biology PostGram, you will haveacquired the scientific and methodological foundations necessary to understand the interactions between plants and microorganisms, whether beneficial or pathogenic. You will be ableto analyse the molecular mechanisms of gene expression in plants, describe the major classes of symbiosis (mycorrhizal and nitrogen-fixing), and understand the evolution of varietal resistance and the infectious strategies of pathogens (fungi, bacteria, parasitic plants). You will alsodiscover recent approaches in microbial ecology, such as the characterisation of microbiota (root, leaf, seed) using culture-free methods. Finally, you will acquirebasic skills in R programmingto organise, manipulate, and visualise biological datasets.
All modules will be taughtin English.
