应用植物科学哲学博士-园艺

研究涉及不同的园艺作物（水果，蔬菜，观赏植物和草皮）和学科（生理学，生产，作物系统，病虫害综合治理以及植物的健康益处）。学生在园艺中使用遗传，分子，生化和生态工具。应用植物科学是一项跨学科计划，旨在教育学生成为专业的农业科学/农业生态学，园艺学和植物育种/分子遗传学专业学科的科学家。该计划的毕业生能够提供创新的领导能力，并为解决公共或私营部门以及整个社会的学科内的问题做出贡献。该计划培养进行高质量研究和奖学金所必需的定量和定性研究技能。
Research involves different horticultural crops (fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and turf) and disciplines (physiology, production, cropping systems, integrated pest management, and health benefits of plants). Students use genetic, molecular, biochemical, and ecological tools in horticulture. Applied plant sciences is an interdisciplinary program for educating students to become professional scientists well grounded in the applied disciplines of agronomy/agroecology, horticulture, and plant breeding/molecular genetics. Graduates of the program are able to provide innovative leadership and contribute to problem solving within their disciplines in the public or private sector and within society at large. The program develops the quantitative and qualitative research skills necessary to conduct high quality research and scholarship.
