Lindow, Steven
Submitted by cmjones on March 5, 2007 - 2:38pm.Name of Person:
Steven Lindow

Department:
ESPM, Professor
Research Interests:
Steven Lindow's group studies a number of different bacteria, known as epiphytes, that live on the surface of plants. Their research emphasizes both molecular genetic and ecological approaches to the study of the interactions of epiphytic bacteria with other microorganisms on plants and of the interactions of these organisms with the plants on which they live.

Feldman, Lewis
Submitted by cmjones on March 2, 2007 - 2:37pm.Name of Person:
Lewis Feldman
Picture:
Department:
Plant and Microbial Biology, Professor
Research Interests:
Lewis Feldman's lab's interests are in the area of plant development, with an emphasis on meristems, particularly those of roots. They are investigating how the various populations of cells which comprise or surround the meristem interact to control root development, especially patterning.
Bruns, Thomas
Submitted by cmjones on March 2, 2007 - 1:49pm.Name of Person:
Thomas Bruns

Department:
Plant and Microbial Biology, Professor
Research Interests:
Most of the current and recent work in Thomas Bruns' lab has focused on the ecology and evolution of mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots, and this interaction represents one of the most widespread and important mutualisms in terrestrial ecosystems.
Environmental Plant Biology
Submitted by cmjones on March 12, 2007 - 2:13pm.Department:
PLANT BI
Course Number:
180
Course Title:
Environmental Plant Biology
Instructor:
Melis, Terry
Description:
An integrated and
multidisciplinary approach to the study of interactions between plants and
the environment. Introduces
physical parameters in the global and micro-environment that affect plant function; and molecular, cellular, and
developmental aspects of plant response to suboptimal/adverse conditions.
Underlying biochemistry, physiology, and molecular biology of plant
adaptation and acclimation mechanisms. Examines consequences of industrial
activity on plant growth and productivity.

Principles of Plant Morphology
Submitted by cmjones on March 12, 2007 - 2:12pm.Department:
PLANT BI
Course Number:
C107
Course Title:
Principles of Plant Morphology
Instructor:
Kaplan
Description:
An analysis of the structural
diversity of multicellular plants, especially the higher forms, with emphasis
on the developmental mechanisms responsible for this variation in form and
the significance of this diversity in relation to the environments in which plants grow.
Units:
2
Offered:
Fall
Course Type:

The (Secret) Life of Plants
Submitted by cmjones on March 12, 2007 - 2:08pm.Department:
PLANT BI
Course Number:
40
Course Title:
The (Secret) Life of Plants
Instructor:
Zambryski
Description:
Covers contemporary topics in
plant biology. Examines how plants grow, reproduce, and respond to the environment (e.g., to light) in
ways distinct from animals. Presents basic principles of genetics, cell, and
molecular biology. Basics of genetic engineering and biotechnology reveal how
they are used to modify plants, and these socially relevant issues are
assessed. Includes visit to modern plant biology research laboratory, and
aspects of plant disease and diversity.
Units:
