Overview
About the program
The University of California, Riverside 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. Our students are exposed to both applied and basic research approaches to contemporary and pressing regional, national and international problems in the plant sciences.
Given the diversity of the Plant Biology faculty, the program seeks to develop students' abilities to communicate to broad audiences and appreciate the multi-disciplinary approaches to solving contemporary issues in the plant sciences. The primary objective of our program is to train scientists who are capable of teaching and conducting research in plant biology.
