Plant Biology and Genetics
Understanding the fundamental concepts of plant biology and genetics is essential to providing solutions to the wide array of problems in food, fiber and energy production that are facing the growing world population. In the Plant Biology and Genetics graduate program area, students receive training in a wide range of courses and research programs in plant physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, breeding and biotechnology. We encourage interdisciplinary training that provides a comprehensive preparation for careers in research and education in plant biology, genetics and related areas.
