This course examines developmental and physiological responses that enable plants to cope with a changing environment and that occur daily, seasonally and over longer timescales; e.g. global climate ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

Our research group studies stomatal function at a molecular level to uncover mechanisms by which guard cells sense and respond to environmental changes. We also investigate the molecular components ...
