Module Overview
Module II focuses on the core biochemical processes that govern plant growth and metabolism. Students will explore primary metabolic pathways such as carbohydrate, nitrogen, and lipid metabolism, and understand how these biochemical systems affect crop productivity, quality, and stress adaptation.
This module provides the theoretical foundation necessary to apply biochemistry in horticultural practices and real-world scenarios.
Learning Objectives
- Understand photosynthesis, glycolysis, and TCA cycle in plants.
- Analyze nitrogen assimilation and amino acid biosynthesis.
- Explore lipid metabolism and its role in stress responses.
- Apply biochemical principles to improve crop quality and adaptation.
