Fitchburg State University

Description:

4 cr. 6 hrs. Introduction to Plant Biology is a course designed for students interested in expanding their knowledge of basic plant biology. The emphasis will be on the unique growth form, physiology, reproduction and diversity of Plant Kingdom members. The course will begin with an examination of anatomy and morphology including the process of reproduction, continues with a consideration of plants in a natural or ecological setting, and concludes with a segment on plant evolution and diversity. The second half of the course will concentrate on physiology and molecular biology of plants. Consideration will be given to the importance of plants in environmental studies and the biotech industry. Laboratory focuses on the development of skills in handling plant materials, including using them as experimental organisms. Although I consider this an introductory course I do assume some prior knowledge of basic biological principles. The format will be a combination of lecture and lab with an emphasis on laboratory during class time. Prerequisites: BIOL1800 and BIOL1900
