Acquisition of resources, energy and carbon,
mineral nutrients, and water, physiological and
behavioral responses of plants to naturally
occurring and modified environmental factors,
mechanisms underlying physiological processes
that give rise to ecologically important
responses at various levels of organizations,
and field studies included in some practical
exercises.
Theory and practices of plant cell and tissue
culture, growth and development of cultured
cells and tissues, factors affecting growth and
development of cultured cells and tissues,
applications of tissue culture techniques for
plant propagation and improvement,
cytological, biochemical, and physiological
studies.
