Aim:
Advanced level study of the contribution of the internal cellular architecture, the cytoskeleton and associated proteins, to cell function in eukaryotic cells. Learning outcomes: 1) Subject-specific Knowledge: • Knowledge of the contribution of the cytoskeleton and associated structures to cell architecture. • Knowledge of how cell function is determined by the internal cell architecture. • Knowledge of the different mechanisms that can regulate cytoarchitecture distribution and therefore function. • Understanding of the link between cytoarchitecture and mutation (loss of/Altered function). 2) Key Skills: • Literacy, in being able to consult and extract information from printed and on-line archives. • Data analysis, in interpretation and critical analysis of data relevant to cell architecture. • Self-motivation, in self-guided learning. Modes of Teaching and Learning • Lectures to deliver subject-specific knowledge. • Self-guided learning contributing to subject-specific knowledge and self-motivation. • Small group work for the appreciation of contemporary topics focussed on recent publications. • Student-led presentations in a PechaKucha style.

Syllabus
• Comparative analysis of plant cytoskeletal components and signalling pathways. • An appreciation of the differences between the organisation and dynamics of the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons for function in plant cells and potential use in biotechnology. • Understanding the involvement of the cytoskeleton in plant signalling pathways ether shared with other eukaryotic systems or unique to plants. • A focus on the novel plant cytoskeleton and membrane interactions.
