MORFOBIOFISIOLOGIA DELLE PIANTE ERBACEE COLTIVATE E MORFOFISIOLOGIA DELL’ALBEROModule MORFOFISIOLOGIA DELL’ALBERO
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Elisabetta NICOLOSIExpected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge about the ontogenic cycle of the tree, exploring aspects related to propagation methods, the fruting cycle and fruit ripening;
Knowledge of the response of tree plants to soil and climatic conditions;
Knowledge of the genetic heritage of tree crops with particular reference to those typical of the Mediterranean environment. This information will be useful in order to set up innovative genetic improvement strategies useful for improving the quantity and quality of production, ensuring sustainable adaptation to climate change, also in terms of greater resistance and resilience to the risk represented by biotic and abiotic stress
