PHYSIOLOGY OF PLANT PRODUCTION
Examines the role of physiological processes in agricultural plant production, including the effects of primary productivity, water relations, mineral nutrition, and temperature responses. Plasticity and adaptation (through breeding) to different agricultural environments are studied.
