Course content
The discipline "Plant Physiology" highlights the mechanisms of integration of physiological functions at the level of the whole plant organism. Plant physiology studies integrated physiological processes, the study of the functioning of which at different levels of the system allows to get as close as possible to understanding the essence of living things, especially in extreme conditions, when "life is on the verge of life." In this discipline, plants are studied at the cellular, tissue and at the level of the whole organism. As an integrative science, plant physiology uses numerous classical and modern scientific and methodological approaches to understanding the basics of plant life.
