Course Details
• Plant Anatomy and Physiology: An introduction to plant cells, tissues, and organs, and their functions in plant growth and development.
• Photosynthesis: The process of converting light energy into chemical energy in plants, including the structure and function of chloroplasts, and the role of CO2 and H2O in the photosynthetic process.
• Respiration: The metabolic process of converting organic compounds into energy, including the role of oxygen and the electron transport chain in cellular respiration.
• Plant Hormones and Signal Transduction: The role of plant hormones in regulating plant growth and development, including auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene.
• Plant Nutrition: The essential nutrients required for plant growth and development, including macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur) and micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum).
• Water Relations and Transpiration: The movement of water through plants, including the structure and function of plant cells, tissues, and organs involved in water uptake, transport, and loss.
• Plant-Environment Interactions: The impact of environmental factors on plant growth and development, including light, temperature, water, and air.
• Plant Stress Physiology: The physiological responses of plants to stress, including drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress, and the mechanisms of plant tolerance and resistance.
