New course allows Department of Agronomy and Horticulture majors to conduct science with plants

Students in PLAS 135 Plant Science Experiments measure stomatal conductance and chlorophyll florescence on pea plants using a LiCor Li-600 pedometer/fluorometer.

Plant and Landscape Systems Class: Christian Stephenson, an assistant professor of practice in agronomy and horticulture, and students in PLAS 135 Plant Science Experiments measure stomatal conductance and chlorophyll florescence on pea plants using a LiCor Li-600 pedometer/fluorometer. The measurements tell how the plants exchange gases with the environment and collect light for photosynthesis.

The pea plants are part of experiments conducted in a new laboratory led by David Holding, professor of agronomy and horticulture.
