Course Goal / Objective
Identification of physiological events that occur in plants, teaching of functioning mechanisms and effective factors
Course Content
Topics include metabolism physiology and growth and development physiology. Metabolism Within the scope of physiology, topics such as plant-water relationships, functions of plant nutrients and their intake, photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen metabolism will be processed. Within the scope of Growth and Development Physiology, plant growth and development, movement physiology, plant growth regulators, physiological events related to growth and development, and stress physiology will be covered.
