Comprehensive understanding of the physiology of higher plants
The course is built on the fluxes within the plant.
The chapter on photosynthesis discusses the fluxes of energy and reducing power necessary for carbon assimilation, but also for the photoassimilation of nitrogen or sulphur derivatives.
The chapter on water and ion fluxes at the cellular and systemic level highlights the perpetual search for a compromise between assimilating CO2 via photosynthesis and water loss through evapotranspiration by regulating stomatal conductance.
Finally, the chapters on photo-perception and phytohormones reveal some physiological aspects of external and internal information fluxs affecting plant development.
The practical work consist in the viewing of videos available on webcampus.
Plan A face-to-face: written assessment
Plan B distance learning: Written evaluation with the webcampus TEST tool
Theory counts for 18/20; practical work for 2/20.
