Plant physiology is a branch of botany that studies the physiological processes or functions of plants. More specifically, it is a descriptive study of plant variation and structure at the molecular and cellular level, which allows for the exploration of ecological, physiological, and biochemical aspects of plants.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:
- Understand the parameters that govern water supply and transport by plants (water potential, xylem function)
- Understand the parameters that govern mineral supply
- Understand carbon supply (photosynthesis) and the transport of photosynthetic products in the phloem
- Have a solid understanding of the effects of the environment on plants
For a better understanding, it is good for the student to have a knowledge of plant biology and botany.
