Seminar: Mechanisms of plant gene regulation

In the seminar, the students critically discuss diverse mechanisms of gene regulation in plants. Specifically, the students select a topic, search, select and read a recent relevant publication and present the results and outcome of this publication in this seminar. Ideally, several new topics including gene regulation by non-coding RNAs, epigenetic mechanisms, post-transcriptional control, signals and triggers for gene expression will be discussed and presented.

The students will be able to communicate and to present the content of a recent scientific report or publication in a clear and unambiguous manner and to exchange information and general ideas on a scientific level with student fellows and experts in Plant Molecular Cell Biology.
