| Areas of Competence the Course Will Address | |||||||||||||||||
| 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 | |||||||||||||||||
| Course Objectives | |||||||||||||||||
| The aim of the course is to focus on the relationship between structure and function at the cell, tissue and organ level. | |||||||||||||||||
| Course Contents | |||||||||||||||||
| 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). | |||||||||||||||||
| Teaching And Learning Methods | |||||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||||
