Course objectives
Passing successfully through this course, students should be able to:
 measure basic physiological characteristics of higher plants using modern methods and instruments;
treat obtained data statistically and present them in an appropriate form;
interpret obtained data with respect to the plant physiological functioning.
Syllabus
