More Peas, if you Please

Christian Stephenson, assistant professor of practice in agronomy and horticulture (left), and Ella Jorgensen, a senior plant and landscape systems major, take measurements of stomatal conductance and chlorophyll florescence on a pea plant using a LiCor Li-600 porometer/fluorometer during PLAS 135 Plant Science Experiments. The measurements tell how the plant is exchanging gases with the environment and how it is collecting light for photosynthesis.

The pea plant is part of the experiments being conducted in this new laboratory led by David Holding, professor of agronomy and horticulture (background, right.) The new course exposes students in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture to conducting science with plants.
