- Course objectives
- At the end of this advanced course students are capable to:
apply some techniques of image analysis;
monitor processes connected with exchange of compounds between plant and the environment;
measure rates of important metabolic processes in plants by non-destructive methods;
evaluate impact of stress factors on plant functioning. - Syllabus
