1) Plant Biotechnology II
Over thousands of years, humans have "domesticated" wild type plants and animals through selective breeding. Examples from the plant world include the breeding of modern hybrid maize from teosinte, or...Show More

6) Stems I
A very important part of plant cells is located outside the cells themselves: plant cell walls. Composed of numerous different building blocks (mostly polysaccharides, but also proteins and, particul...Show More

8) Photosynthesis II
So how does photosynthesis actually work? In this lecture we explore the structures that capture light energy, photosystems 1 and 2, and how that light energy is harnessed to generate NADPH, and to ...Show More

10) Leaves and photosynthesis I
After finishing our quite extensive foray into leaf structure, function, and modifications, we finally start to look at what is arguably the main purpose of leaves: absorbing light energy, and using t...Show More
