Details of lab work, workshops practice (if applicable). (32 hours) Plant physiology practicals The lab exercises are mostly experimental in nature. The students will be running experiments, collecting data, and drawing conclusions from those data. Some of the labs will be group projects where each team does one component of the exercise to combine results. One of the objectives of the lab is to acquaint students with techniques that they will find useful in other scientific work that they do.

Why study plants?
Studying plants increases our knowledge about life in general and helps us to work with them to keep us fed, healthy, sheltered, clothed, and happy.
![Page 5: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Plants produce hundreds of compounds we use as medicines or drugs
•Willow (Salix) bark as a source of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)•Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) as a source of digitalis (treatment for cardiac problems)•Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia) as a source of taxol (treatment for cancer)•Coffee (Coffea arabica) and tea (Camellia sinensis) as sources of caffeine (stimulant)

Plasmodium is transferred into humans by infected mosquitoes
![Page 9: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But Plasmodium are developing resistances to quinine, so other sources of anti-malarial compounds must be found.
Cinchona tree bark contains quinine, which kills Plasmodium
![Page 10: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Gin and quinine?
British soldiers in tropical regions were given quinine pills to prevent malaria. To disguise its bitter flavor, quinine was mixed with sweet, carbonated water (“tonic”) and frequently also with gin – the origin of the “gin and tonic.”

Artemisia annua is a plant with novel antimalarial activities
Artemisinin
Artemisia has been used by Chinese herbalists for thousands of years. In 1972 the active ingredient, artemisinin, was purified.

The world population grows and grows ...
The world population is expected to triple between 1950 (2.5 billion) and 2020 (7.5 billion)
![Page 14: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The world population grows and grows ...
A major objective of plant science is to increase food production; current estimates indicate that we need to increase production by 70% in the next 40 years.

Malnutrition and hunger disproportionately kill children
In 2004, 60 million people worldwide died.
![Page 16: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
10 million of them were children under 5 years of age, of which 99% lived in low- or middle-income countries
Malnutrition and hunger disproportionately kill children
![Page 17: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5 million children under the age of 5 die each year due to undernutrition and related causes.That’s one preschool-aged child dying a preventable death every six seconds.
Malnutrition and hunger disproportionately kill children
![Page 18: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A lack of adequate vitamin A kills one million children a year.
Malnutrition and hunger disproportionately kill children

By developing plants that are drought or stress tolerant require less fertilizer or water are resistant to pathogens are more nutritious
Plant scientists can contribute to the alleviation of hunger
![Page 20: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Plant growth is often limited by drought stress
![Page 21: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Drought stress is compounded by increasing global temperatures
In warm regions, crop yields can drop ~3 – 5% with every 1°C increase in temperature.
One model of mean temperature increases in agricultural lands by 2050.
![Page 22: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Even mild drought stress reduces yields
Mild drought stress reduces the rate of photosynthesis and growth, whereas extreme drought stress is lethal.
![Page 23: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We need plants that grow well even under stressful conditions
Heat and drought reduce plant yields

Right now, two serious diseases threaten the world’s food supply
•Phytophthora infestans, cause of potato late blight, has re-emerged as a threat.
•Puccinia graminis tritici, the wheat stem rust fungus, has developed into a highly aggressive form.
![Page 29: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Late blight destroys potato plants
•Potato late blight disease is caused by Phytophthora infestans. Outbreaks in the 1840s ruined crops and contributed to more than a million deaths in Europe.

Ug99 threatens wheat everywhere
•This is a global problem that needs global attention. Ug99 spores do not stop at national borders... • – United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)•
![Page 33: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The fungus is carried by wind
•Ug99 is found in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Yemen, and Iran, and threatens regions of the near east, eastern Africa, and central and southern Asia.
•Wind currents carrying spores are shown in red.

Vitamin A deficiency
Hunger
Subsistence level diets are usually nutrient-poor. Our bodies need vitamins and minerals as well as calories. Malnutrition is primarily a disease of poverty.
Anemia (young children)
Improved nutrient content in plants can help alleviate malnutrition
![Page 37: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The practice of fortifying foods with vitamins (such as folate and vitamin A) and micronutrients (such as iron, zinc, and iodine) has dramatically reduced malnutrition in much of the world.
![Page 38: Plant Physiology. 1. Proteomics of Plant Cell Wall (2 hours) 2. Plant organs physiology (8 hours) a. Roots and mineral uptake b. Stem and vascular transport](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db65503460f94aa88db/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Cassava is a staple food crop in much of Africa but low in nutrients
Scientists have recently identified a variant that produces much more vitamin A that the standard variety.
