  • to present a comprehensive overview of plant responses to salinity and the many adaptations plants have evolved to salinity

  • to provide an overview of plant physiology and anatomy, this being done in the process of understanding mechanisms of salinity tolerance The course is a graduate level course, and requires a basic understanding of biology and chemistry.
