This course is designed to teach the principles of genomics, review the historical events that shaped the field, introduce the development of fast evolving sequencing technologies, and use examples to illustrate broad applications of genomics in scientific research and in our daily lives.

With lab. Physical properties of soils and how they relate to water and solute movement in hydrologic systems, energy exchange, plant-soil-water relations, environmental problems, and soil-water management. Prerequisites: basic courses in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, or consent of instructor.

Identification and discussion of environmental stress factors that affect growth and success of plants. Emphasis will be placed on ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, and turf in urban/suburban environments. Criteria will be developed to fit plants to various types of urban sites, depending on site characteristics. Plant response to light, temperature, water, salt and other soil pollutants, soil compaction, and air pollutants will be considered as well as mechanisms of tolerance or avoidance. Lectures plus one field trip.Three written exams, student paper, no final exam.

With lab. The acquisition, translocation, distribution, and function of the essential inorganic elements in plants. Genetic control of plant nutrition and ecological adaptation to nutritional variables. Diagnosis of plant nutritional disorders. Prerequisites: PLNTSOIL 102 and 105, CHEM 110 or 111 or equivalent courses.
