BIOPL 6420
Mineral Nutrition: From Plants to Humans

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course explores the mechanisms of acquisition of mineral nutrients from the soil, translocation and accumulation in plant tissues, the tight homeostatic control that prevent mineral element deficiencies while avoiding their overload, and strategies in combating accumulation and toxicity of noxious metals. Selected lectures focus on the relation between the nutrient status of plants and human nutrition and health. The course includes guest lectures by Cornell Professors who are experts in selected topics. Students will also learn modern, state-of-art techniques that are used for analyses of the mineral status of plants and for evaluation of soil health.

When Offered Spring.
