Course: Plant Physiology
Course description:
1. Chemical composition of plants. Physiological characteristics of the principal organic compounds.
2. Principles of higher plant metabolism (biophysical phenomena, enzymes, allostery, inhibition, membranes).
3. Respiratory metabolism of higher plants.
4. Exchange of materials, active and passive transport, water absorption, water potential of cells and tissues.
5. Inorganic nutrition of higher plants, absorption, transport and translocation. Laws of plant yield. Metabolism and symbiotic fixation of nitrogen. Metabolism of other mineral nutrients.
6. Photosynthesis, carbon assimilation and biosynthesis of organic compounds.
7. Plant growth and development. Phytohormones. Environmental factors affecting growth and development. Thermoperiodism, photoperiodism, dormancy and transpiration. Stress physiology.
