Description
This course is proposed as an interdisciplinary course for both biology and environmental science curriculum. Students will strengthen their knowledge of plant form and function by studying plant cell structure and function, plant water relations, mineral nutrition of plants, solute transport of plants, photosynthesis and adaptations of photosynthetic mechanism to different environments, photorespiration, plant hormones and their role in plant growth & development, and physiological adaptation of plants to different environmental stresses. Laboratory component of this course will give students hands on experience with horticultural and environmental aspects of plant growth, how to identify nutritional deficiencies of plants, and selecting the appropriate crops for different seasons.
