      The goal The aims of the course are to provide student with knowledge about the effects of various abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic stress factors on physiological processes and plant productivity, about indicators of degree of stress and mechanisms of plant resistance to stress factors, and skills necessary to identify phenotype traits for screening reaction of different genotypes to stress.
      The outcome By the end of this course student should be able to understand the principles about the effects of stress factors on plants, to understand plant adaptation mechanisms and to apply this knowledge for mitigation of stress effects on plant growth and productivity. The student should also be qualified for organization of experimental work and critical analyses and evaluation of obtaining results
