- General chemical structure of the natural hormones, other synthetic analogs and inhibitors.
- The various physiological effects of each hormone, its uses and applications in agriculture.
- Hormone metabolism (biosynthesis, degradation, conjugation).
- Hormone transport, sensing (receptors) and signal transduction, hormone related gene expression and its relation to typical hormone mediated physiological processes.
