Overview
About the program
Molecular and Environmental Plant Sciences at Texas A&M University seeks to understand the molecular basis for functions and behavior of plants in managed and natural environments. It blends botany, ecology, molecular biology, chemistry, genetics and physics.
Traditionally, plant scientists have been interested in the improvement of agriculture, and many of the most basic findings on photoperiodism, mineral nutrition, plant growth regulators, morphogenesis, post-harvest physiology and plant competition have had major effects on modern agriculture.
Today the unifying goal of plant science is to understand and improve plants. This goal involves significant interdisciplinary interactions with molecular genetics, plant breeding, environmental physics, agronomy and other plant-agriculture disciplines.
