BIO 320 - Botany (4)

Prerequisites: Must have a C- or better in BIO 110 , BIO 111 , and BIO 212 or permission

This class might be more accurately called plant behavior. As plants can’t easily move, they have an extremely large array of coping mechanisms. Students will learn how plants communicate with each other, herbivores, predators, fungi, bacteria, and humans to get them to do the plant’s bidding. This class covers major taxa, growth forms, anatomy, reproduction, communication, competition, and ecology of plants. Students will explore how humans have bent plants to our will in the form of modern agriculture and where that future lies. This class will help students redefine their understanding of communication, growth, movement, and cooperation across all biological domains.
