The Doctor of Philosophy degree program offers an interdisciplinary graduate curriculum, drawing faculty expertise from Crop and Soil Science, Food Science and Human Nutrition, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Molecular Biosciences, Plant Pathology, Biological Sciences, and the Institute of Biological Chemistry. This program aims to equip students with comprehensive knowledge in molecular plant sciences while providing specialized research opportunities in this field. Areas of focus encompass cellular and subcellular physiology, molecular biology and biochemistry of plant processes, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, phytochemistry, vascular plant physiology, metabolic pathways, plant-pathogen interactions, growth regulation through hormones, crop physiology, physiological ecology, and related agricultural and biological disciplines.
Prospective students must hold a bachelor's degree with foundational coursework including introductory biology/botany, physics, chemistry (through organic chemistry and biochemistry), molecular plant sciences, genetics, and calculus. Students with minor undergraduate deficiencies may address these by taking necessary courses during their provisional enrollment in the graduate program.
