Plant Physiological Ecology

Catalog description

This course will focus on the physiological mechanisms plants use to respond to their environment. Major topic areas include the basic environmental physiology of carbon, water, and mineral nutrient exchange, and the adaptive mechanisms plants use to survive the variety of global environments. Labs will cover common physiological research methods ranging from cellular to whole organism level measurements and will involve both laboratory and field work. Students who register for BIO 413 must also register for a BIO 413 laboratory. For example, if you register for BIO 413 you must, at the same time, register for a section of BIO 413L .
