本课程的目的是使学生了解整个植物的生理学，以及所涉及的潜在生物化学和分子过程的基本意义。您应该了解并赞赏植物的功能，包括生长，发育和繁殖的动态过程以及对环境压力的响应。环境压力包括干旱，洪水，营养缺乏，盐度，有毒离子，极端温度以及昆虫摄食和疾病。野生的和栽培的植物物种在分子，生理，发育和形态学水平上对这些胁迫做出响应，并且通过这种方式使植物能够通过胁迫适应和适应过程避免或耐受这些胁迫。具体来说，本课程提供有关作物过程和响应的基本信息，这些信息随后将用于作物生产，园艺，植物保护和植物育种以及其他需要了解正常
The objectives of this course are to provide students with an understanding of whole plant physiology, and the fundamental significance of the underlying biochemical and molecular processes involved. You should gain an understanding and appreciation of plant function, including the dynamic processes of growth, development and reproduction and the response to the environmental stresses. Environmental stresses include drought, flooding, nutrient deficiencies, salinity, toxic ions, extreme temperatures and insect feeding and diseases. Wild and cultivated plant species responds to these stresses at the molecular, physiological, developmental and morphological levels and in doing so enable plants to avoid or tolerate these stresses via stress acclimation and adaptation processes. Specifically, the course provides basic information on crop processes and responses that will later be used in crop production, horticulture, plant protection and plant breeding and other areas of environmental management that require understanding of normal plant growth and development. Students should know about plant cells and the molecular involved in plant growth and development, plant nutrition, water relations and how plants interact with their environments. Students should be able to apply the knowledge gained to ecological and plant production problems.<br>Integration of form and function from cellular to whole plant levels in processes from seed germination, through photosynthesis, growth, and morphogenesis, to flowering and senescence.
