Plant Science Pathway

The Plant Science Pathway engages students to learn about the plants in their lives from the parts of a plant cell to the various tropisms and everything in between. Labs and hands-on learning in the greenhouse help set the stage  for learning to bloom. 

People who work in the Plant Systems pathway study plants and their growth. This helps producers of food, feed, and fiber crops continue to feed a growing population while conserving natural resources and maintaining the environment. Individuals in this pathway also develop ways to improve the nutritional value of crops and the quality of seeds. They use genetic engineering to develop crops resistant to pests and drought.
