Credits:              3 hours (lecture)

Text:                  PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 4th Edition (2009) by Taiz and Zeiger

 Objective:           This course will teach mechanisms and processes of plant physiological function. The lectures will present on physical, biochemical and molecular genetic function of higher plants. The topics will focus on fundamental for plant cell, transport and translocation, biochemistry and metabolism, growth and development. How growth and development of plant are regulated and controled by genetic, biochemical and environmental factor will be emphasized. Mechanisms and processes will be presented in the context of the plant growth and development beginning with seed germination, followed by vegetative growth and development, and then by reproduction (flowering, seed formation and fruit maturation). Mechanisms and processes will be discussed at the molecular level. Plant metabolism such as photosynthesis, plant hormone and environmental stressi, water and nutrient transport and utilization, will be discussed.
