Bachelor of Science in Plant Sciences - Plant Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology

Plant molecular, cellular, and developmental biology focuses on the microscopic aspects of plant function. Many of the careers stemming from this concentration are based in research into basic cellular functions and research techniques to effectively assess those functions. There is a high emphasis on chemistry, molecular biophysics , and plant physiology in this concentration. This concentration addresses the root of plant functions that underlie all other studies of plants. For example, this field deals with the inner workings of cellular function which is of great interest to plant breeders looking to increase crop yield by increasing the efficiency of cellular processes. Additional examples of topic in this field include, plant cell differentiation, the functioning of the xylem in trees, and the chemical composition of various proteins and membranes in the cell. Coursework in Plant Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology focuses on the study of how plants function at the subcellular, cellular, and organismal levels. The concentration prepares students to enter graduate school and for careers in academia, in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, in health science-related fields, and in governmental research institutions.
