Course objectives
Lectures devoted to an overview of main topics of plant anatomy and physiologicy for students of non-biological specialization. At the end of the course the students should be able to understand the basic structural features of a plant cells, tissues, and organs, as well as physiological mechanisms controlling plant growth and development.
Syllabus
  • Structural characteristics of plant cells with special attention to the cell wall, plastids, endoplasmatic complex and cytoskeleton. Primary and secondary meristems, cell division and diferentiation. Basic types of plant tissues, their structure and function. Basic anatomical characteristics of roots, stems and leaves. Transport of water, solutes and gases in plants, flux control. Physiologic approach to the study of metabolic processes in plants. Mineral nutrition of plants - uptake and use of nutrients. Growth processes in plants, phytohormones, external control of growth.Stress physiology: general and specific responses to stress factors.
