Found 14 relevant results in 2.23s where lecturer="Samuel C. Zeeman"
In this block course, students actively participate in ongoing research projects in plant biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, supervised by PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in groups of 2-3 students ,The research background is discussed in Journal Clubs.At the end of the course, students present their projects and results in an interactive poster session with the Plant Biochemistry group
The colloquium “Challenges in Plant Sciences” is a core class of the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center's PhD program. The colloquium introduces participants to the broad spectrum of plant sciences within the network. The course offers the opportunity to approach interdisciplinary topics in the field of plant sciences.
Fundamentals of Biology IB
Grundlagen der Biologie IB
This course is an introduction into the basic principles of evolution, diversity, animal/plant form and function, and ecology.
Fundamentals of Biology II: Plant Biology
Grundlagen der Biologie II: Pflanzenbiologie
Water balance, assimilation, transport in plants; developmental biology, stress physiology.
The lecture conveys the fundamental concepts underlying multicellularity with an emphasis on the molecular basis of multicellular biological systems and their functional integration into coherent wholes. The structural and functional specialization in multicellular organisms will be discussed by highlighting common and specific functions in fungi, plants, and animals (including humans).
This course focusses on the role of current genome editing techniques, including CRISPR-Cas, in fundamental molecular plant biology research, the implementation for crop improvement, and the impact and considerations for society.
In the module "Integrative Plant Sciences", which consists of the online course and seminar "Plant Response to Stress" (PRESS) and the colloquium "Challenges in Plant Sciences" , the focus lies on interdisciplinarity, ranging from molecular biology and biochemistry to ecosystem research, and an integrated understanding of plants in their environments.
The course will introduce the students to the key concepts in membrane biology and will allow them to be involved in laboratory projects related to that broad field. The course will consist of lectures, literature discussions, and practical laboratry work in small groups. Results of the practical projects will be presented during the poster session at the end of the course.
The advanced course introduces students to plants through a concept-based discussion of developmental processes that integrates physiology and biochemistry with genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. The course follows the life of the plant, starting with the seed, progressing through germination to the seedling and mature plant, and ending with reproduction and senescence.
Current topics in Molecular Plant Biology presented by internal and external speakers from accademia.
Current topics in Molecular Plant Biology presented by internal and external speakers from accademia.
In this block course, students actively participate in ongoing research projects on plant metabolism and are tutored individually by doctoral students and postdocs. In a lecture series, the theoretical background for the projects and their interrelationship is provided, and in a seminar series, students will present their projects as well as discuss topical recent publications.
Plants and Fungi

The lecture conveys the fundamental concepts underlying multicellularity with an emphasis on the molecular basis of multicellular biological systems and their functional integration into coherent wholes. The structural and functional specialization in multicellular organisms will be discussed by highlighting common and specific functions in fungi and plant.s
Plants are the primary producers of our ecosystem. This course will survey the pathways of plant metabolism. Emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms of carbon dioxide assimilation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the regulation of metabolic fluxes. The course will also highlight the classical and state-of-the-art research methods.
