Intermediate Botany - Plant Growth and Development (II)

Intermediate Botany - Plant Growth and Development (II)

Course info

This course explains the principles and practices of plant physiology. It is designed for all those that need to understand plants in depth, how they work, how they grow, which factors promote their development and which factors hinders their growth.

What will you achieve from this course?

After completing Intermediate Botany you will understand the photoperiodic responses of flowering plants to differing dark and light periods, and the effect of temperature on the onset of flowering and flower development.  You will also have knowledge of the process of respiration in plant cells and its effect on post-harvest storage, and the effect on plants of endogenous and synthetic growth regulators.

Lessons:

•     Flower Physiology
•     Photochromy
•     Photoperiodism
•     Control of Flower Bud Initiation and Development
•     Dormancy
•     Effects of Plant Associations and Competition
•     Respiration and Post Harvest Physiology
•     Post Harvest Storage, Transport, Retailing and Shelf Life
•     Endogenous and Synthetic Growth Regulators
•     Risks Involved with Plant Growth Manipulation
