The aim of this course is to impart knowledge in the field of water relations and mineral nutrition and how plants acquire water and transport it under different soil water regimes and also make use of the water in an effective way to maximize use efficiency. In addition, the other aim is to impart knowledge of how plants minimize water loss under stress conditions besides educating the students of how plants make
use of nutrients in a best possible way.
To explain about basic physiological and molecular processes concerning various facets of growth and development of plants. It provides knowledge on basic physiological processes governing developmental events in plants including senescence and fruit development and ripening. Development of vegetative tissue like shoot, leaf and root and morphogenetic phenomena like flower induction and development, factors associated with photoperiod and thermoperiod response. Regulation of morphogenesis
would be studied at the molecular level providing information on genes involved. In addition, students will study how to apply the knowledge on plant development and morphogenesis using tissue culture.
It provides knowledge on the fundamentals of hormone biosynthesis, homeostasis, transport and signaling and the role in regulating basic physiological processes governing developmental events in plants.The role of classical hormones on developmental processes from germination, shoot and root apical meristem differentiation, flowering, seed maturation and senescence. The aim of this course is to
appraise the students about structure and function of plant growth regulators.
