Lectures deal with plant adaptation to light conditions of environment. Lectures inform about solar radiation sensors - phytochromes, cryptochromes and photropin, about growth, developmental, metabolic responses of plant to light quality and quantity and about light signal transduction. Lectures deal with adaptation to changes in photoperiod during year - photoperiodism.
