| | This course is designed for graduate students wanting to learn biochemistry that is characteristic of plants. The course is taught in two 75-minute lectures per week with two exams, midterm and final. Grading is based on the exams, oral presentation and plant biochemistry mini-review.
The course will consider the chemical constituents of plants, their synthesis, their contribution to key metabolic processes and the regulation of their biosynthesis. Included will be discussions of photosynthesis, carbohydrates, lipids, isoprenoids and phenylpropanoids; nitrogen fixation, reduction and assimilation; the synthesis of alkaloids and general secondary compound biosynthesis.

| Second Year, 2007/2008 first semester, 2008/2009 first semester, 2012/2013 first semester | | | This course focuses on plant structure, classification, growth, reproduction and
utilization of cultivated plants. Methods to illustrate these areas include, plant
identification and nomenclature, plant propagation in general, vegetative and
reproductive growth, and development. Soil and water management, land preparation.
The discussion includes information on photosynthesis, respiration and translocation, and factors affecting plant growth and development including climatic influences on crop production | First Year, 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2011/2012 | | | This course is designed for graduate students wanting to learn about plant tissue culture. The course is taught in two 75-minute lectures per week with two exams, midterm and final. Grading is based on the exams, oral presentation and laboratory work.
Plant tissue culture is the science of growing plant cells, tissues or organs isolated from the mother plant, on artificial media. It includes techniques and methods used to research into many botanical disciplines and has several practical objectives.
