Welcome to the 2024 course in Växtfysiologi (BI1281)!

Content: This course is structured around acquiring a strong understanding of plant physiology to give you an opportunity to understand how plants grow and develop. You will learn how plants have evolved, how they reproduce and how plants have been modified by people for beneficial uses. You will also learn how plants interact with their environments: whether coping with diseases or adapting to challenging or changing environments. Course start: The first lecture will take place on Monday November 4th at 10:00am in Lennart Kennes Sal (BioCentrum). Note the slightly earlier start time (not 10:15am).

Teaching method: The course includes lectures that deal with key areas of plant physiology. Two laboratory exercise are included that introduce principles of plant hormones and stress response. The course will be primarily taught in person. Labs will be performed in groups of three students. The group division takes place the first day of the course. Feel free to think of group suggestions before then.

Schedule: The course structure this year will be primarily in-person teaching with 12 lectures. Three discussion sessions are also included. Five lab sessions will take place in person. The final exam will be in person. The course is bilingual. Approximately half of the lectures will be in Swedish and half in English; labs are in English. The schedule is available on the course website and Canvas (the schedule is preliminary until the course starts). The zoom link for the question session (Frågestund) and lab discussion will be posted on Canvas. Be sure to join the course Canvas page.

Textbook: The course textbook this year will be Campbell et al: Biology: A Global Approach, Global Edition (12th edition). Some of you might have the 11th edition from previous years and that fine to use. Page references are available for both textbooks. The textbook is recommended but not mandatory.

Examination: The BI1281 course is divided into two parts, a lab part (2hp) and a lecture-based part (5.5hp). To complete the lab-based part (2hp), attending the three lab sessions and submitting and passing two lab reports is also required (grading: pass/fail). To complete the lecture-based part (5.5hp), attending the introductory lecture is mandatory as is passing a written exam (grading: 5,4,3,U). It is necessary to pass both lab and lecture components to complete the BI1281 course. The final exam is on Tuesday December 3rd from 13h to 17h.

Kommentar: The textbook is recommended and a helpful resource, though not mandatory. If you’re buying a new textbook, then the 12th edition is the latest version (new for 2020). The 11th edition has been previously used and also works perfectly well for this course.
