Praktická výuka fyziologie rostlin. Zabývá se rostlinnými barvivy, fotosyntézou a respirací, minerální výživou, vodním režimem a efekty růstových látek.
Student si osvojí základní návyky práce s živým rostlinným materiálem, seznámí se s kultivací rostlinných explantátů in vitro a s některými základními analytickými metodami, např. chromatografií, spektrometrií a gazometrií. Představuje také interakce rostlin s okolní biosférou na příkladu mykorhizní symbiózy.
