Plant physiology is the science which is connected to the material and energy exchange, growth and development, as well as movement of plant. Plant physiology is the science that studies plant function: what is going on in plants. Another definition of plant physiology: is the study of plant function, encompassing the dynamic processes of growth, metabolism and reproduction in living plants.
Plant physiology is overlapped with its related branch of knowledge: biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology. The basic knowledge of plant physiology, that is necessary for experts in agriculture. Uptake and transport of water and minerals are explained in general. The nutrient supply of plant is presented in details (essential elements, solute transport, nutritional deficiencies). Most common processes of plant biochemistry and metabolism, such as photosynthesis, are highlighted. Plant growth and development.
