Goals To teach functions, physiological effects and using in horticultural growing of plant growth regulators
Course Content Phytohormone and plant growth regulator concept, definition, history, types, metabolism and synthesis, translocation, physiological effects in plants of phytohormones, hormonal interactions, usage of synthetic and natural growth regulators such as derivatives of auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, ethylene and growth retardants in horticultural plants during pre and postharvest period.
Learning Outcomes 1) Knows the historical develeopment of plant growth regulators
2) To know the difefrence between hormones and plant growth regulators
3) To understand actions and interactions of plant growth regulators
4) To know plant growth regulators in horticulture growing for different aims
