Detailed Course Content
- PLANT PHYSIOLOGY
Membrane physiology. Root absorption of water and mineral nutrient. Water conduction transport from root to leaf. Transpiration and guttation. Oxidative respiration: Glycolysis, Krebs cycle. PHOTOSYNTHESIS - Light-dependent reactions: the photosynthetic pigments, the photosystems, energy conversion to the stable chemical forms. Light-independent reactions: Calvin cycle. Influence of the environment on photosynthesis. Photorespiration. C4 and CAM photosynthesis. Nitrogen assimilation and biological nitrogen fixation. Translocation of photoassimilates. HORMONES. Tropisms movements: phototropism and gravitropism. PHYSIOLOGY OF FLOWERING.
