What you’ll be able to do
Describe fundamental processes that control plant growth and development at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels, by study of physical, chemical, and biological principles and mechanisms.
Identify, perform, and interpret experimental techniques commonly used in plant physiology through both lecture and laboratory instruction.
Analyze physiological processes across biological scales (from genes and cells to tissues and organs), using both qualitative and quantitative data.
Construct and interpret graphs and other data visualizations to analyze trends, make predictions, and draw evidence-based conclusions.
Critically evaluate primary literature in plant physiology and synthesize experimental findings to propose research questions and experimental approaches.
