Summary

Plant life, metabolism and phenological stages are of high interest for obtaining sustainable development for food and fodder. The advances in different technological approaches to assess plant physiological processes in time for principal growth stages should use integrative data. Monitoring constant plant growth and development under different ecophysiological conditions will help us better characterize the physiological changes under biotic, abiotic conditions and as a result of different stressors. All goals are essential to produce plants for biomass and also for ensuring food security along with all functional ecosystem services. Plant physiology responses should focus for all possible applied approaches in the field or in controlled conditions. Therefore, the optimization of the functional plant biology derives from plant physiology and metabolism functioning, reason of witch scaling growth is essential. The key organizational levels are dependent on developmental processes from different phenophases of seed and leaf development, from flowering until plant senescence.


Suggested themes could comprise the following but not limited to them:

Seed priming

Plant cellular responses

Principal growth stages

Stress effects versus optimal growth conditions

Plant chlorophyll content and photosynthesis

Soil-plant system interconnected relations

Ecophysiological conditions as a trigger for plat productivity

Effect of different technological approaches on plant physiology growth and development
