Overview

Plant physiology is the study of the functions and processes that occur within plants, including the mechanisms by which they grow, develop, acquire and use resources, and respond to their environment. It addresses fundamental processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, water relations and transpiration, mineral nutrition and the uptake and transport of nutrients, and the regulation of growth and development by hormones and signalling pathways. A central theme is how plants perceive and adapt to environmental conditions and stresses, including drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and pests and diseases, through physiological, biochemical, and molecular adjustments that may involve altered protein expression and metabolic regulation. In agronomy and crop science, plant physiology provides the basis for understanding how cultivation practices, nutrient supply, and environmental factors influence plant performance and yield, and how crops can be managed or improved to enhance productivity and resilience. Research draws on field, glasshouse, and laboratory approaches and increasingly integrates proteomic, metabolic, and physiological analyses to characterise plant responses, for example to soil and foliar nutrient application or to combined abiotic stresses in cereal and other crops. By linking the internal workings of plants to their growth and to their interaction with the environment, plant physiology is foundational to agronomy, crop production, and the development of sustainable agricultural systems.
