PLANT SCIENCES & GENETICS OPTION
|
 |
This option is for those who are interested in a career in research. It focuses more on plant physiology, biochemistry, genetics and the recent adaptations and applications of biotechnology.
The option crosses the traditional boundaries that have separated genetics, plant physiology, molecular biology, and traditional crop production areas. It links laboratory approaches and plant production systems through the application of plant biotechnology to solve multi-disciplinary problems. Students can select courses that allow concentration on genetic engineering to address real-world problems or to whole plant physiology and plant breeding.
Students selecting this option must take Biology 171 and 171L (or their equivalent) and Chemistry 16l and 161L (or their equivalent). Some of these courses will fulfill part of the Natural Science requirement of the UH General Education Requirement. These courses are considered prerequisite to courses in the major.
