Water, mineral and carbon nutrition

Water and mineral nutrition

Reminder of conductive tissues, mastery of the concept of water potential and passive water movements at plant and ecosystem level: water cycle.
Mechanisms of sap circulation.
Adaptation to changing daily and global conditions. Focus on water supply problems in the event of drought/flooding (data analysis and interpretation).


Carbon nutrition - Photosynthesis

Notions of carbon nutrition and carbon assimilation
Photosynthesis, C3, C4 and CAM metabolisms. Relationship with environmental conditions (temperature and water availability)
Synthesis and transport of sugars.
Vegetative reserve organs and development of a new individual.
