Program Summary
Plant science is the study of plants, their structure, function, growth, development, and interactions with the environment. It covers various aspects of botany, including plant physiology, genetics, ecology, and biotechnology. The course explores how plants produce oxygen, provide food, and support ecosystems. Students learn about plant classification, reproduction, and adaptation to different environments. The role of plants in agriculture, medicine, and industry is also emphasized. Topics such as soil science, pest management, and sustainable farming practices are commonly included. Advances in genetic engineering and biotechnology are explored to understand how plants can be improved for food security and environmental conservation. The course integrates both theoretical knowledge and practical applications, including laboratory experiments, fieldwork, and research on plant-related challenges.
