Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Inner Life of Plants explores the use of modern molecular and physiological techniques to study plant biology, with an emphasis on the analysis and explanation of the cellular processes that control the development, growth and productivity of plants. The ability of plants to aquire nutrients is investigated through hands-on practical experiments. The application of new molecular techniques is explored using real-life examples in the lectures, and a number of closely aligned pracicals. The physiology component builds on concepts introduced in BIO1PS, and is further developed in a series of hands-on practicals.
