Topics include: selected topics in plant physiology, a survey of the five major kingdoms of organisms, speciation and evolutionary theory, and ecology at multiple levels of the biological hierarchy.

PLANT MORPHOLOGY AND EVOLUTION

BOTANY 305

A broad survey of the diversity of plants in the context of their evolutionary history. Similarities and differences in structure and reproduction among extant bryophytes, lycopods, ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants are emphasized along with the study of fossils representing extinct plant lineages.

INTRODUCTION TO PLANT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

PLANTSCI 110

Introduces the basic principles of plant science and technology as they apply to cultivated plants. Topics include the historical and economic importance of plants for food, feed, and fiber; origin, classification, and geographic distribution; plant breeding; growth, development, and physiology; agroecosystems and practices; field and greenhouse production; integrated pest management; and marketing practices. Discuss and apply associated technologies (e.g. gene editing, remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicles).
