Plant Physiology is the scientific study of the functions and vital processes of plants, encompassing areas such as photosynthesis, respiration, water transport, and nutrient uptake. It explores how plants grow, develop, and adapt to their environments at molecular, cellular, and whole-plant levels. Key topics include how plants convert sunlight into energy, how they regulate water and mineral intake, and how they respond to environmental stimuli like light and temperature. Research in plant physiology is fundamental for advancements in agriculture, ecology, and biotechnology, helping improve crop yield, plant resilience, and sustainable farming practices.
