 | | Undergraduate Course covers control of crop physiological processes in relation to genetic, enzymatic, hormonal and phytochrome systems. Crop water status, nutrition and energy metabolism in relation to yield. Photosynthesis, transport, and accumulation of photosynthates. Use of plant growth regulators in agriculture. Crop growth and development in relation to environment. Stresses and their effects on crop growth, adaptations, and acclimatization. | 1st semesters 2019/2020 | | | Undergraduate course covers horticultural crops including classification, structure, growth and development,
reproduction, horticultural environment, horticultural technology, propagation, mineral nutrition, training and pruning, growth regulation, horticultural and production systems | 1st, 2nd and summer semesters each year, 2019-2020 | | | Crop physiology is an advanced course on the physiological processes involved in the growth and development of crop plants and the interaction of these processes with the environment to influence productivity. Topics covered in this course include: plant water relations with special emphasis on osmoregulation and water stress in higher plants. Plant light interaction including the role of light in photosynthesis, photoperiodism and photomorphogenesis. Plant hormones with special reference to their metabolism, transport, and mode of action. Nitrogen metabolism and biological nitrogen ficxation. Secondary plant metabolism, and defense compounds. Developmental physiology with emphasis on juvenility, senescence and abscission. | 2013/2014 | | | This doctorate course covers concepts related to stress physiology and plant response to environmental stresses: temperature (freezing, chilling, high temperature, water (drought, flooding), salinity, radiation and other stresses. Most recent literature on plant responses to stresses will be also discussed. | 2019/2020 | | | Economic importance, geographical distribution, crops original, botanical and utilization characters, crops
classification and description, areas of production. Suitable environments agriculture and industrial
practice, method of utilization | Summer 2018/2019 | | | This course covers the management of important industrial crops, such as oil, sugar and fiber crops, discussing the environmental factors affecting the production (quantity and quality), in addition to the economic importance of these crops and its role in the strategic agricultural production. | Summer, 2018/2019 | | | This course assesses the role of forages in a productive, sustainable agriculture, identify the major forage crops, and develop an understanding of the principle of sound forage crop management, including harvesting and utilization. Also explains how management affects growth, stand persistence, and physiological changes of forage crops. | Summer, 2018-19 | | | This course focuses on physiological, biochemical and molecular bases of plant growth and development. Topics covered include structure of higher plants, signal perception and transduction, features of growth of the plant body and its organs, photomorphogenesis, initiation and development of plant organs, transition to flowering, and senescence and death. Advanced topics of recent reviews related to plant growth and development in response to environmental cues, growth regulators, and genetic manipulation. | Summer 2016/2017 | | | Plant bioregulators is an advanced course that provide students with and advanced discussion
of plant hormones (biosynthesis, destruction, transport, metabolism), phytohormones and
synthetic plant bioregulators used in induction, stimulation or change horticultural and field
plant characters, types and advantages of plant bioregulators used in agriculture and
problems associated with miss use of applications. An introduction to the recent literature on
the physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and practical applications of the primary
plant hormones | 1st semester 2014-2015 |
