The graduate curriculum offers training in diverse fields of plant biology that are grouped in four areas of specialization: cell and developmental biology; environmental and integrative biology; molecular biology, biochemistry, and genomics; and systematics and evolutionary biology. These areas permit students to conduct research on topics such as anatomy, biochemistry, cell biology, cytology, developmental biology, evolutionary biology, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, morphology, paleobotany, pathology, physiology, population biology, systematics, and weed science.

This program is an interdisciplinary Graduate Group.
