The Interdepartmental Plant Physiology Major (IPPM) coordinates graduate education and research in the areas of plant biochemistry, plant molecular biology and plant physiology. Graduate study in IPPM, leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees, is offered through seven participating departments: Agronomy, Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology, Genetics Development & Cell Biology, Horticulture, and Plant Pathology. Research conducted by the faculty and students of the major represents basic plant physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. The experimental approaches represented in the major span the range of complexity from molecular studies, to cellular, organismal and the ecological level (crop monocultures and natural populations). Although IPPM graduate students are themselves involved in basic plant biology research, the research focus of the faculty in the major includes both basic and applied approaches. This mix of basic and practical research orientations helps foster a stimulating environment for graduate training. Program ContactSimi Venkatagiri, Program Coordinator
