| Learning outcomes |
|
The main goal of this subject is to introduce students in the basic principles of plant physiology. An attention will be paid to the connection of plant morphology, the function of individual types of plant tissues, the molecular biology background of processes in plant cell and physical base of the most important physiological processes in plant. The course has two forms - theoretical as well as practical. During the practical part, students will be trained in the basic methods of plant physiological studies.
