Description: Advanced topics in sig- nal transduction pathways that regulate growth and development in plants and prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes. Areas covered include two-component reg- ulatory systems; quorum sensing; signaling via small and heterotrimeric G proteins; mitogen-activated pro- tein kinase cascades; cAMP signaling; photorecep- tors; plant hormone signaling; responses to low-oxy- gen stress; calcium signaling; and plant pathogenesis. Cross-listed with BCH 205, BPSC 205, CMDB 205, GEN 205, and MCBL 205. Borkovich
