Plant Biology (LIFS 2080)
[3 Credit(s)]
Spring, 2015
LI, Ning and Leung, Melody
04/Feb/2015 - 08/May/2015
Course co-ordinator : LI Ning
Previous Course Code(s): BIOL 1080. Structure and life processes in plants;
cellular structures; transport of water and nutrients; nutrition and soil;
reproduction; photosynthesis; growth and development, plant molecular biology
and biotechnology.
Pre-requisite(s): LIFS 2210 or LIFS 2040
Course Objective: This is a core lecture course accompanied by the practical
course LIFS 2280 to provide students with a preliminary understanding of the
basic cellular structures, molecular mechanisms and physiological processes during
plant growth and development. The course is also to provide students with current
research topics on plant molecular biology and biotechnology.
