However, these often over-looked organisms are constantly engaged in battles against a wide variety of assailants on scales small and large – from genomic to ecological. This course will take a plant’s-eye-view of three main types of conflicts, and in doing so will explore core concepts across genetics and molecular and developmental biology.
