Plant Physiology

Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functionthe physiologyof plants. Closely related fields include plant morphology (structure of plants), plant ecology (interactions with the environment), phytochemistry (biochemistry of plants), cell biology, and molecular biology. Plant physiologists study plants' fundamental processes, such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, environmental stress, seed germination, dormancy and transpiration.
