GDIC3019K Plant physiology research&tech

Academic Year 2023/2024

Plant Physiology Research and Technology is given to enable the students to understand and master the experimental skills for plant physiology study. The experiments are related to plant water potential, transpiration, photosynthesis, seed germination and stress responses, in which the students will master the methods regarding the measurements of water potential, transpiration rates, enzymatic activity, membrane ion leakage, and photosynthesis pigment extraction and spectrum analysis. The students are trained to gain the ability to observe, record, analyze, and make conclusion for biological experiments.
This course is combined with Plant Physiology, allowing students to organically combine rational knowledge with perceptual knowledge, deepen their understanding of theoretical knowledge in experiments, and finally apply the full set of experimental skills in Plant Physiology. Fully combining theory and practice, students should be able to analyze and evaluate experimental results from multiple perspectives, be diligent in hands-on, good at thinking, have the ability to analyze and solve problems, and have a sense of innovation in experimental research.
