Introduction to Plant Physiology, Second Ed.
Emphasis is on individual research projects.
250b is a prerequisite or must be taken concurrently. While plant physiology is a laboratory based discipline, much can be learned from readings and discussions of the history of discovery of various plant processes as well as from published summaries of our current understanding. However, as is true with any science, the fun and excitement of the discipline comes from experimentation and discovery. I therefore encourage laboratory participation and try to interconnect both segments of the course. It is my belief that your education benefits when we participate in the learning process as a team in an active way rather than for you to simply listen and take notes while I lecture.
