Objectives, including learning outcomes The aim of the course is to provide an in-depth overview of the basic methods for measuring and assessing growth and physiology of plants, and to give an overview of quantitative methods for the measurement of structural and functional plant properties (so called phenotyping) in modern phenotyping facilities. Upon completion of the course the student should be able to (i) describe the basic methods for measuring and assessing the growth of plants; (ii) evaluate scientific experiments focusing on the growth of plants in relation to the surrounding environment (plant-environment and plant-plant interaction); and (iii) evaluate different quantitative methods for measuring structural and functional plant properties in modern phenotyping facilities.Innehåll
