Module title SBEP3043 Plant Physiology Laboratory
Semester(s) 5th Semester
Person responsible Dr. Vivera Ruselli Puspa, S.Pd., M.Pd.
Language Indonesian, English
Relation to curriculum Compulsory modules for 5th semester students. The Plant Physiology Laboratory is designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge gained in the Plant Physiology lecture course by allowing students to conduct experiments on water uptake, nutrient absorption, photosynthesis, respiration, and phytohormone function. Through contextual and collaborative learning, students strengthen their scientific reasoning and critical thinking, aligning with CPLs in research competence and environmental literacy. The CPMK goals are targeted by providing opportunities to interpret physiological responses under varying environmental conditions. This course relies on foundational concepts delivered in earlier courses such as Plant Morphology and Cell Biology, creating a cohesive academic progression that culminates in comprehensive plant science understanding.
Teaching methods Hands-on (laboratory)
Workload 1 x 45 hours per semester, comprising:
✔ 170 minutes structured tasks per week
Credit points 1 SKS = 1.6 ECTS (45 hours)
Prerequisites –
Module objectives ✔ Students are able to prepare reports according to the prescribed template, following the principles of academic writing correctly.
✔ Students are able to understand the theories, concepts, principles, and physiological processes in plants, including growth and development, phytohormones, plant movements, and photoperiodism accurately.
Content This course explores:

➢ Water absorption and loss in plants, soil water availability, and soil properties;
➢ Macro- and micronutrients and plant nutrient requirements;
➢ Photosynthesis and respiration processes;
➢ Plant growth and development, including germination and seed types;
➢ Role of phytohormones;
➢ Photoperiodism, plant movements, vernalization, dormancy, and senescence.
