About
Plant Science focusses on the green, silent, and motionless life forms we take for granted. Plants are amazing organisms. Literally rooted in one spot, they are able to cope with a wide range of environmental conditions, while at the same time using only light, carbon dioxide and water to generate energy-rich sugars that drive and support the vast majority of life on the surface of our planet.

Stems II
The transition from water to land required plants to develop efficient transport pipelines for water and nutrients to the leaves, and for energy-rich ...
Stems I
A very important part of plant cells is located outside the cells themselves: plant cell walls. Composed of numerous different building blocks (mostly...
Photosynthesis II
So how does photosynthesis actually work? In this lecture we explore the structures that capture light energy, photosystems 1 and 2, and how that ligh...
Leaves and photosynthesis I
After finishing our quite extensive foray into leaf structure, function, and modifications, we finally start to look at what is arguably the main purp...
Leaves II
Leaves have features that prevent uncontrolled water loss such as cuticles and wax layers. Because these impermeable layers also prevent diffusion of ...
Leaves
Leaves are the main "organs" of plants responsible for capturing light energy, and converting it through fixation of carbondioxide into chemical energ...

Plant Hormones III
The third and final lecture on plant hormones is about brewing beer and Prince. No, of course not, but both are used as examples for the effects of gi...
