 This section contains a series of links that may be of interest for those considering graduate studies in the University of Georgia cotton physiology program as well as a description of the courses offered by our program.
CRSS 3300 – Crop Physiology
Course Description
The physiological basis of crop growth and yield is discussed, with primary consideration given to phenomena occurring at the whole plant and plant community levels of organization. The fundamental concepts underlying the science of Crop Physiology (crop phenology, canopy development and light interception, photosynthesis and respiration, dry matter partitioning) are first presented. Then, these ideas are applied to the study of plant-environment interactions, with emphasis on abiotic stresses that limit the performance of both agronomic crops and turfgrass species.
CRSS 8280 – Crops and Microclimate
Course Description
Effects of aerial factors (radiation, humidity, temperature, wind, atmospheric gases) on crop growth and productivity are discussed, along with measurement techniques for each. Emphasis is on quantitative analysis of processes occurring at the leaf, whole plant and canopy levels.
