Physiology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology Print E-mail

Physiology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology offers a strong graduate curriculum and research program to students interested in how plants work at the whole plant, cellular, or molecular levels. Understanding physiological mechanisms makes it possible to optimize plant growth conditions and manipulate genetic make up to enhance important traits or reduce production costs and environmental problems. Participating faculty offer a diversity of basic and applied research programs.
