- Course objectives
- At the end of this course students are able to:
use basic as well as advanced fluorimetric and biochemical methods of photosynthesis measurement;
compare efficiency and applicability of biophysical and biochemical methods;
use appropriate statistical models and create suitable graphs for the presentation of the data. - Syllabus
