      In this course epigenetics phenomena and their molecular basics are introduced. In the first part, general molecular epigenetic mechanisms and diverse phenomena are discussed. In the second part, specific epigenetic systems are introduced, such as the Polycomb/Trithorax system, DNA methylation, RNA interference, writers, readers and erasers of histone modifications, Eu- and heterochromatin regulation and reprogramming of epigenetic inheritance. In the third part, the focus is set on the role of epigenetics in plant and animal development.

      Contents:
      The lecture covers how ecological research is applied to pressing social-ecological questions in our increasingly globalized world. The main focus will be on how biotic interactions (such as predator-prey and host-parasite interactions, competition and mutualism) are changing in the face of biological invasions, climate change, urbanization, habitat fragmentation and pollution in the Anthropocene. Classic ecological research concepts and insights are combined with interdisciplinary aspects of modern research fields, for example disease ecology and ecological economics.

      Qualification goals:
      At the end of the course, participants will have an advanced understanding of biotic interactions and how they are changing in a globalized world. They will be familiar with classic ecological knowledge and how it is applied to ongoing changes in the Anthropocene.

      The lecture covers the theoretical background and basic concepts of plant-microbe interaction biology and inter-organismic communication. The students will present and discuss current topics, methods and applications in plant-microbe interaction research. Research-oriented experiments using methods for the analysis of plant-microbe interactions and plant immune responses at the biochemical, cell biological and molecular level will be conducted in small laboratory groups.
