Learning outcomes
Educational Aims: The teaching unit in Plant biochemistry offers and integrated view of basic aspects of the primary plant metabolism and of the integration betwen metabolic pathways. Major biochemical pathways are described in detail together with the methods used for their elucidation including biochemica, biophysical and genetic methods.
Educational aims: The teaching unit “Plant Physiology” aims to integrate the knowledge previously acquired in Plant biology and plant biochemistry to obtain an integrated view of the functioning of the plant organism using as a model an higher plant. The metabolic reactions will be inserted into the general plan of the plant organism at the cell, tissue, organ level. The sensing functions of the plant for environmental factors will be described together with their effect on plant development through the effect of plant ormons and of the reproductive cycle.

Attendance
As stated in the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2022/2023, attendance is not mandatory. However, professors may require students to attend lectures for a minimum of hours in order to be able to take the module exam, in which case the methods that will be used to check attendance will be explained at the beginning of the module.
