ENVIRONMENT OF CULTIVATED PLANTS

PLANTSCI 320

An exploration of major environmental factors that regulate plant growth and development - temperature, water availability, light, and carbon dioxide. Patterns are studied temporally at the daily, seasonal (yearly), and long-term (climate) time scales, geographically at the local and global scales, and contextually in natural, agricultural, and controlled environment conditions. Includes effects of environmental conditions on plant growth and development, including adaptive mechanisms to stress conditions at the physiological level.

ADVANCED GENETICS II

GENETICS 702

Second of semester of professional level training in genetic mechanisms and analysis as applied to genetic transmission, gene expression, forward and revese genetics, molecular genetics, genonmics, developmental genetics, and epigenetics.

PLANT CELL BIOLOGY

BOTANY 860

Structure/function relationships at the cellular level. Topics include the biogenesis of organelles, vesicle traffic, ion transport and signalling processes, and organization of the cytoskeleton and cell wall.

PLANT GENETICS AND DEVELOPMENT

BIOCHEM/GENETICS 631

Covers the basic concepts of genetics and genomics as applied to plants and their development, including discussions on breeding systems (modes of reproduction, sex determination, self incompatibility and crossing barriers), linkage analysis, genome structure and function (structure, function and evolution of nuclear and organellar chromosomes; haploidy and polyploidy; expression regulation and epigenetics), along with a description of current methodologies used in the analysis of these processes within the context of plant development. The objective is to instigate a broader knowledge and understanding of the principles and methodologies used in plant genetics and their applications in investigations of the molecular mechanisms that modulate plant development.

PLANT BREEDING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

PLANTSCI 338

Principles of crop plant improvement are discussed in the context of genetics, plant biology, plant breeding, plant biotechnology, and world food, feed, and raw material needs.
