A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego has developed a method to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels using ...

We will focus on photosynthesis, water relations and mineral nutrition. Both classical and molecular physiological techniques will be used to characterize plant responses to stress. 1. Chloroplast ...

plant anatomy and/or plant physiology. Soil science thesis research includes soil chemistry, soil fertility and management, soil physics, soil microbiology and biochemistry, soil and water quality and ...

Plant physiology is an examination of plant function ranging in complexity from individual cells up to the whole plant. As relatively immobile organisms, plants must adapt to the prevailing ...

The most vulnerable phase of a plant's life is the short time period that follows germination. During this phase, the newly emerged seedling relies on the maternal parent to provision the food that is ...

We have excellent teaching, research, and outreach programs in the areas of plant biology (cellular, genetics, genomics, microbial, molecular and physiology), agronomy (including pathology, soil ...

Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new ...

Lorenzo Rossi, Ph.D., joined the Texas A&M to focus on plant physiology in horticultural crops including grapes.

A breakthrough study reveals that the Shoot-Silicon-Signal (SSS) protein plays a crucial role in managing silicon uptake and distribution in rice and other grasses. This study sheds light on how SSS ...

plant physiology, water, and weeds. Most importantly, the Plant Production and Protection program focuses on how these topics are all interrelated. As a student, you and your advisor will select ...

The Plant Physiology Laboratory and plant growth facilities span 2,200 square feet and are located on the 11th floor of the CNRC. Under the direction of a USDA plant physiologist, this laboratory is ...
