Plant Physiology and Biochemistry

Plant Physiology is the sub-discipline of Botany, which includes the study of all internal activities (chemical and physical process) in plants. The major part of plant physiology is photochemistry, which is the study of biochemistry of plants.

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry study shows, plants produce wide variety of chemical compounds like pigments, enzymes and other compounds to function, which are useful for photosynthesis process. As plants can’t move, they defend themselves from herbivores pathogens by using chemical compounds which shows toxic affect, foul tasting. Few compounds play role against diseases, survival during drought, some attract pollinators to spread ripe seeds.
