    About the Course

    This class is aimed at people interested in understanding the basic science of plant biology. In this four lecture series, we'll first learn about the
    structure-function of plants and of plant cells. Then we'll try to understand how plants grow and develop, making such complex structures as
    flowers. Once we know how plants grow and develop, we'll then delve into understanding photosynthesis - how plants take carbon dioxide from
    the air and water from soil, and turn this into oxygen for us to breathe and sugars for us to eat. In the last lecture we'll learn about the
    fascinating, important and controversial science behind genetic engineering in agriculture. If you haven't taken it already, yo...

    Excellent course with lots of information. Professor Chamovitz does a great job presenting this material. After this introductory course I realized how much more there is to learn about Plant Biology.

    The course does very good job for providing the planned content. However if you have already studied the field and want to have more deep understanding like I do, you need to look for other courses.

    I learned so many things on recombinant DNA technology especially in plants and I would say genetically modified plants are safe to be consumed.

    Learning about genetic engeneering is very interesting. A gene is a gene. In this course you learn why.

    Thanks to Daniel Chamovitz, Ph D
