 |  | | Horticultural Science |  | | Graduate students in Horticultural Science conduct research related to fruits, vegetables, potatoes, flowers, ornamental trees and shrubs or turf; and on the physiology, production, environmental impact of cropping systems, and use of horticultural crops. Research areas include the effect of horticultural commodities on human health, hormonal, and stress physiology; flower development and flowering physiology; integrated pest management; postharvest physiology; and cropping system strategies. Students get a broad range of experiences in the field, greenhouse, and/or laboratory using genetic, molecular, biochemical, and ecological tools to answer research questions.
