This course is an output-based course involving plant and animal physiology, intended for PhD students. Students are expected to choose a plant or an animal, preferably found in the locality where the student resides, and provide an in-depth biological information about the chosen plant or animal in terms of the following areas in physiology: morphology, anatomy, biological compounds, and biological processes. Set of laboratory activities as a learning material that will help learners understand the various concepts in the physiology of the chosen organism will be drafted as well. Expected output of the course is a monograph on the physiology of the organism of interest which includes two parts:( a) general physiology of the organism and (b) laboratory activities.

Course Description: This course is an output-based and research-oriented course for PhD students. It focuses on the origin and development of the physical form and external structures of plants. It deals with the topics on mechanisms of differentiation leading to the formation and patterning of plant organs, the developmental stages of plant life cycle, and, the underlying processes involved in plant development in response to the changing environmental conditions.  Reading and discussions on recent research papers published regarding the mentioned topics are the main activities of the course. The major outputs include a special research project and a lecture webinar on specific topics to be delivered to students specializing in Biology and/or to science teachers. 

Schedule: 11:00AM - 2:00PM Saturdays

Teacher: Dr. Arlene Linsangan-Tabaquero
