Module: Biochimica vegetale
-------
Module: fisiologia vegetale (laboratorio)
-------
The aim of this teaching is to acquire the basis of biochemical research on plant materials and to learn how to organize experiments for the study of plant physiology.
Module: fisiologia vegetale
-------
The aim of this teaching is to understand the organization and the physiology of plants. The course analyse the biochemical basis of the major physiological processes in higher plants with possible biotechnological applications.

1. Chromatography and spectroscopic characterization of photosynthetic pigments.
2. Quantitative determination of photosyntetic pigments extracted from leaves during the greening process.
3. SDS-PAGE analysis of the protein composition of photosynthetic membranes.
4. Western Blot analysis of specific proteins belonging to the photosyntetic apparatus during the greening process.
