Plant cell organisation and function. Plant form, growth, development and physiology. The physiology of plants under stress. Experimental manipulation of plants.
By the end of this course students should have a firm appreciation of the functioning of plants at the cellular and whole-plant level and the responses of plants to cues and stresses in their environment. Students will also have been exposed to techniques for the experimental manipulation of plants in both basic and applied research.

This is an essential course for all students interested in plant biology, biotechnology and ecology.
As in all BIOL courses, a satisfactory performance is required in both the course work, the test and the final examination. This means you must attend all class activities and submit all items of assessment unless you have a very good reason not to (e.g. medical reasons). If you fail to do this you may fail the course.
