Kompetenceområder
Basic Science: The course will give the students a basic knowledge of the plant as a living organism.
Understanding of growth, development and properties of plants and how this is influenced by internal and external factors.

Applied science: Knowledge of how growth and development are controlled

Ethics & Values: The students will be aware of ethics and values related to physiological problems
 
Kursets målsætning
The aim of the course is to focus on the relationship between structure and function at the cell, tissue and organ level.
 
Kursusindhold
The following four issues will be considered:
1: Water and nutririon (water movement, ion uptake and movement of solutes within the plant; mineral nutrients; nitrogen metabolism)
2: Carbohydrate metabolism (Photosynthesis, partitioning of carbohydrates, respiration).
3: Plant hormones (auxin, gibberellin, cytokinins, abscissic acid, ethylene).
4: Growth and development (light effects including photomorphogenesis and photoperiodism; growth response from external stimuli as tropisms).
 
Undervisningsform
The course is given as a combination of introducing lectures, therotical exercises three laboratory experiments and three PBL cases. The PBL case will be based on central areas within field of plant Physiology.
