Course description
Summary: In plant physiology, "Teitz-Zyger Plant Physiology 3rd Edition" and " Plant Biology, Garland Science" is used as reference books.
Expected Learning
In plant physiology, we aim to understand physiological phenomena such as photosynthesis, respiration, flowering regulation, environmental stress response, metabolism etc. at the molecular level.
