| Summary | Plant growth and development are inextricable linked as plant meristems and organs maintain growth activity throughout the lifecycle. In this course we will dissect the processes by which plants control and execute growth and development. We aim to strike a balance between the metabolic process underpinning growth and development and the regulatory pathways that control them. |
