- Interception of radiation by leaves and stands, photoinhibition, photodestruction. Effect of spectral distribution of radiation on growth, photoperiodicity. The energy budget of a plant leaf, chilling and frost injury, resistance to extreme temperatures. The influence of water stress on physiological processes, control of water uptake and transpiration. Water use efficiency in C3, C4 and CAM plants. Availability of mineral nutrients in the soil, adaptation to nutrient limitation. The effects of toxic compounds in the environment on plants. Function of plants in hypoxic, strongly acidic and calcereous soils. Plant competition, allelopathy, resistance to pathogens and herbivors. Growth strategies of plants in different environments.
