Objective
To understand celular metabolisms involved in plant development; structure, biosynthesis and signal transduction of phytormones and growing substances; To understand cellular differentiation as well as the genetic pathways controllling this process; To study some physiological effects as well as pratical applications (biotechnology and agrochemicals) of phytormones and growing substances.
