Goals Physiological events that occur during plant growth, development and nurition, maintaining and on the termination the basic points of these events is to teach in accordance with physics and chemistry law
Course Content Plant cells and its formation; plant nutrient elements, growth medium, and soil and its important properties; germination; plant root and its functions; the structure and properties of water; physiological events that occurred in the plants (diffusion, osmosis, and plasmolysis); uptake and theories of plant nutrient elements; factors that affected uptake of plant nutrient elements; transport of plant nutrient elements in cell membranes and roots; transport of organic substances in plants; transpiration, photosynthesis, and respiration in plants; stress physiology in plant
