[Plsugs] New course in PLANT SCIENCES

[Tanya Quist]

NEW COURSE IN PLANT SCIENCES AVAILABLE FOR REGISTRATION JULY 2011

 

COURSE NAME AND NUMBER: Plant Cell Structure and Function (PLS 359)

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Whether you will work with plants as a physiologist,
pathologist, ecologist, agronomist, horticulturalist, or molecular
biologist, you will need to know how a plant is constructed, how it grows,
and how it functions. Depending on the need and your interests, you may work
at the subcellular, cellular, tissue, organ, or whole plant level. As a
result, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of plant cell
structure and function. In this course, we will start with the molecular and
subcellular organization of a single plant cell. Subsequently, we will
investigate tissue levels of organization and function. Emphasis will be
placed on not only teaching the structural aspects but also discussing the
functions of a plant cell, tissue, and organ. 

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES: 
(i)  Provide an understanding of the structure of a typical plant cell and
its organelles
(ii)  Provide anatomical descriptions of plant tissues and organs 
(iii)  Demonstrate the complexity and orderliness of the organization found
in higher  plants. 
(iv)  Describe the functions of plant cell organelles, tissues, and organs.
