MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory

Changes in environmental conditions could spell trouble for plants. Researchers from the Plant Research Laboratory are using unique research techniques to see how plants grow when exposed to high light and high amounts of CO2.

Please join Sacha Coset of University of Washington on Monday for a seminar titled "Open Ocean Primary Production: Insights from Phytoplankton Metatranscriptomics"

The Michigan State University Plant Science Community is set to flourish at the MSU Science Festival STEAM Expo Days!
