16:765:502 (S-Odd) Advanced Plant Physiology (3) Overview of physiological mechanisms of plant adaption to abiotic stresses. Topics covered include changes in cellular structure and functions, water relation, plant nutrition, carbon metabolism, and hormone metabolism in response to abiotic stresses.
Prerequisites: Undergraduate plant physiology or equivalent; organic chemistry, botany, or equivalent.
16:765:503 (S-Even) Methods in Plant Systematics (3) Systematic methods and techniques used in plant systematics, phylogenetics, and biogeography. Lab, software demos, and lectures will be intermingled with independent projects and discussions.    
16:215:507 (F-Odd) Advanced Plant Systematics (3) A broad, evolutionary overview of major groups of vascular plants, from club mosses and ferns to conifers and flowering plants. Principles of classification and field identification, morphology, and basic concepts in evolutionary studies in botany. Independent project. Prerequisite: Introductory botany course, or permission from instructor.
16:765:510 (F-Even) Advanced Plant Genetics (3) Topics in plant genetics from both a classical and a molecular perspective. Topics include breeding systems, nuclear and organelle genomes, chromosome variation, linkage analysis and chromosome maps, recombination, mutation, transposons, epigenetics, and genetic approaches to genomic analysis. Prerequisite: Undergraduate course in genetics. It is strongly recommended that students have had a course in biochemistry or molecular biology.
16:765:513 (F-Odd) Plant Molecular Biology (3) Fundamental and applied aspects of plant molecular biology, including isolation, structure, and regulation of nuclear and organellar genes, molecular biology of plant-microbe interactions, molecular biology of plant development, and plant biotechnology. Prerequisites: Undergraduate genetics or equivalent,  organic chemistry. Course in molecular genetics or molecular biology recommended.
16:765:520 (S-Odd) Plant Biochemistry and Metabolism (3) Physiological significance of principal metabolic systems, including photosynthesis, photorespiration, sulfate and nitrate reduction, and hexose metabolism; synthesis of lipids and lipid pigments, photochemical, and hormonal controls, chloroplast development, and biochemistry of secondary plant products. Prerequisite: Plant physiology or equivalent.
16:765:522 (F-Odd) Applied Plant Science Statistics (3) Statistical methods such as experimental design, regression, ANOVA, covariance, field plot techniques, sampling, factorial experiments, treatment comparisons, and estimates of effects.
16:765:528 (F-Odd) Advanced Plant Breeding (3) Breeding, self-pollinated, cross-pollinated, and apomictic plants; role of mutation, polyploidy, and interspecific hybridization in plant improvement; inheritance of adaptive plant characters; developing and maintaining improved varieties. Prerequisite: A course in general genetics.
16:765:531 (F-Even) Principles of Plant Pathology (3)   Fundamental concepts elucidating the nature, cause, diagnosis, dissemination, and control of plant diseases. Includes an overview of all plant disease agents. Lec. 3 hrs. Prerequisite: Biology or microbiology.
