The University of California at Riverside's Plant Biology Graduate Program encourages broad-based study of plant biology and fosters communication across numerous research disciplines including molecular, cellular and developmental biology, genetics/genomics, bioinformatics, plant physiology, ecology and evolution. The breadth of research in our program affords unique interdisciplinary opportunities not readily afforded by programs with a more narrow research base.
PLBL currently offers both MS and PhD degrees in Plant Biology. Under the umbrella of these degrees, students pursue academic coursework and research training in an environment that simultaneously offers depth, breadth and interdisciplinary approaches in plant-related research including: agricultural plant biology; cell, molecular and developmental biology; chemical genomics; conservation biology; ecology; ethnobotany; evolution; genomics and bioinformatics; plant genetics; plant biochemistry and physiology; and systematics. PLBL students study plant processes at levels of inquiry ranging from molecules to the whole organism to ecosystems.
