Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the lecture is to introduce the most important physiological processes in plants. The processes are presented in relation to plant structures (function of root, leaves, etc.) and also in relation to the conditions in which the plant grows (importance of eco/physiological adaptations). Part of the lecture is a ten-minute credit presentation of students on related topics. The course is provided in English every second year (in years starting with an even year, such as 2022/23 or 2024/25).
The course introduces the field of plant physiology but does not assume further study of courses in the field of plant physiology (course KEBR/220 Plant Physiology serves for that).
