A physiological study of plant-environment interactions with emphasis on the development of strategies to survive abiotic stresses including heat, cold, drought, flooding, shade, excess light and UV light. The unique mechanisms used by plants (including the fascinating carnivorous species) to obtain nutrients in deficient environments will also be covered. Although students may take BIOL 2240 as a prerequisite, BIOL 2242 is recommended [3 credits]
