Equal to the breadth of research problems addressed is the range of organisms studied. Algae, mosses, fungi and flowering plants are studied from genes to genus by molecular biology, physiology, systematics and ecology faculty. Collaborations are currently underway among anatomists, cell biologists, molecular geneticists and plant taxonomists to bring a multifaceted approach to our understanding of basic plant physiology and genetics.
Visit the Research Areas pages (see links at right) to learn more about the breadth of our interests, then visit a faculty member's individual homepage to learn about his or her specific focal areas.
UGA's Plant Biology Department is a multidisciplinary program with 25 full-time faculty working on a wide range of research problems in the plant sciences. Work is currently being done on a variety of problems ranging from genetic regulatory mechanisms to plant speciation and community disturbance ecology.
