PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

Course Description

In this course, students will learn the basic physical, chemical and environmental behaviours of plants and producing agricultural interpretations and to supply the students with the information giving the ability to produce and make the right decisions in crop productions. The course will cover the following topics during the semester; history cell physiology in plants. Water and its physiological properties water. Plant water relations nutrients absorption in plants. Caution-anion absorption and exchange. Photosynthesis, respiration, stress and stress factors in plants and agronomical effects, stress avoidance and stress resistance in plants. At the end of the course, the students will have sufficient knowledge to answer the following questions: why, how, where and when all these events are taken places in living plants.
