School:Plant sciences

Welcome to ! Part of Life Sciences



Note: Material from Wikibooks was imported to Portal:Plant Sciences. Please coordinate that page with this page.

Plant Sciences covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study the structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, ecology, and evolution of plants. The School of Plant Sciences works closely with the Wikiversity School of Agriculture.

 * SB_Johnny | talk: Happy to help, my background is in horticulture and agriculture.


 * Charley Quinton | talk: I am bioneer working on urban planning initiatives geared toward sustainability and ecoscience. I am particularly interested in urban agriculture, aquaculture, plant and soil science, biophysics, urban microtransport systems – thus a new eco-logistical model for developing and re-develping both urban and rural economies.

 * alettaka | talk: I have studied plant breeding and molecular plant virology, and am willing to help.


 * sonicbiology | talk: I am interested in plantlore, especially the medicinal uses of plants. My knowledge base includes a few medicinal plants of Guatemala and the US, a few food plants of the US, and a little botany, as well as a summer of experience on a natural farm.
 * -User:Wikicollege creator DS07 this is really Pika64eBay! This is just a pseudenoym!
 * User:Pika64eBay Hey yo! I'm back! I am intrested very much canrivorous plants (examples: Venus's Fly Trap, Sundew)
 * Trinity507 - my field of interest/some knowledge is ethnobotany, but I'd like to learn more about plants in general. I also do a lot of "practical horticulture", a.k.a. gardening. :-) I founded the ethnobotany department in the School of Ethnology. It's an interdisciplinary subject so I'll link a lot of the resources here.

Divisions and Departments
Divisions and Departments of the School exist on pages in "portal" namespace. Start the name of departments with the "Portal:" prefix; departments reside in the Portal: namespace. Departments and divisions link to learning materials and learning projects. Divisions can link subdivisions or to departments. For more information on schools, divisions and departments look at the Naming Conventions. Be bold! Start writing resources! Make a link to the name of the resource (resources are independent pages) and start writing! Be sure to include a link too!
