Course content
Three days laboratory course during weekend. Students work in small groups, fulfil the exercises, and assess the results (some of the exercises is assessed for the whole practicum). List of exercises: 1 - Allelopathy influencing the Lepidium sativum germination 2 - Starch synthesis evidence in the assimilating plant organs 3 - Transpiration rate 4 - Stomata opening as a result of the turgor in the guard cells 5 - Ethylene influencing plant seedling growth 6 - Photosynthetic pigments extraction and chromatography on chalk stick 7 - Plant cell destruction by frost and role of cryoprotectants
