Our commitment to research in basic plant biology, from the molecular to the ecological, stems from our belief that integration of our group of plant-centered scientists into a single community brings together an extraordinary array of perceptions of plants.
At the molecular level, faculty explore the biochemistry, molecular physiology, and development of plants. At the cell and organ levels, we are engaged in understanding the physiology of plant processes with special attention to their chemistry and biophysics. At the organismal, community, and landscape levels, department members develop insights into plant diversity and interactions between plants, other members of their biotic communities, and their abiotic environment.
