Plant Physiology and Ecophysiology Laboratory

Focus on whole-plant physiology and ecophysiology from biochemical and molecular processes to whole-plant function and field performance to gain understanding and appreciation of plant function, including dynamic processes of growth, development, and reproduction. Exercises provide training in approaches and instrumentation such that students become scientists, applying physiological techniques to answer questions on plant function, including use of programs such as FunAnatomy (plant anatomy) and FastPlant (growing experiment). To apply this course to the Biology upper-division major laboratory requirement, the corresponding lecture course must be completed with a passing grade.
