Bot.223 Introduction toPlant Physiology 3+1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

This course aims:
 to educate student on concepts of plant physiology including water and nutrient uptake,
photosynthesis, photorespiration, translocation, nitrogen metabolism, phytohormones and
their role. The course further deals with proteins, enzymatic system, aerobic and anaerobic
respiration.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
