-
3.00 Credits
A critical evaluation of the recent concepts in certain selected areas of horticultural science. Prereq: BIO 430G.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will consider the chemical constituents of plants (with emphasis on biologically or nutritionally significant compounds unique to plants), their biosynthesis, contribution to key metabolic and defense processes and the regulation of their synthesis. Included will be discussions of photosynthesis, carbohydrates, lipids, isoprenoids and phenylpropanoids, nitrogen fixation, nitrogen and sulfur reduction and assimilation, alkaloids and additional secondary compounds, frontiers in plant biochemistry. Prereq: BCH 607 or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as BCH/PPA 609.)
-
4.00 Credits
Classical, biochemical and molecular studies of the structure and function of eukaryotic chromosomes. Emphasis is placed on the effects of variation in chromosome type, structure and number on Mendelian genetics and in plant and animal breeding. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, two hours. Prereq: ABT/ASC/ENT 360 or BIO 304. (Same as BIO 619.)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to be a treatment of current concepts of plant molecular biology. It will be a literature-based course, supplemented by handouts and reading lists. The course will deal as much as is possible with topics that are unique to plants. Current aspects of molecular biology that are relevant to the course content will be covered in the first part of the course; however, these lectures will not be a review of topics that should have been retained from introductory genetics and biochemistry courses. Also, they will not be a substitute for a molecular biology course. Prereq: One semester of undergraduate genetics and biochemistry or consent of instructor. (Same as BIO 620.)
-
3.00 Credits
A physiological/biochemical treatment of central topics in modern plant physiology. Topics will include: plant-cell biology, ion transport, water and translocation, respiration and photosynthesis. Prereq: BIO 430G or equivalent or consent of coordinator. Prereq or concur: BCH 607. (Same as BIO/FOR 622.)
-
3.00 Credits
A physiological/biochemical treatment of central topics in modern plant physiology. Topics will include: plant hormones, an introduction to plant biotechnology, senescence and abscission, stress physiology, phytochrome-photomorphogenesis-phototropism nitrogen and sulfur metabolism. Prereq: BIO 430G or equivalent or consent of coordinator. Prereq or concur: BCH 607. (Same as BIO/FOR 623.)
-
3.00 Credits
Recognition and identification of plant diseases and their causes and development. The course is designed to give students practical experience in dealing with a wide array of plant diseases, symptom expressions, causal agents and interactions with environmental factors encountered in the difficult task of identifying plant diseases. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credits. Lecture, one hour; laboratory, six hours. Prereq: PPA 400G or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as PPA 640.)
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced course on the relationships between media and the root systems of plants growing therein. Prereq: PLS 366, BIO 430G (or equivalent), or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure, development and function during plant reproductive development and seed ontogeny, including fertilization, embryogeny and endosperm development, seed formation, maturation, germination, dormancy and deterioration. Prereq: ABT 360, BIO 430G or consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
A critical evaluation of the current research status in selected aspects of soil biology. Prereq: PLS 566 or consent of instructor.
