Yes. U of Arizona in Tucson. B.S. in Plant Sciences with emphasis in
Horticulture. M.S. in Soil Sciences with emphasis in soil chemistry
and nutrient availability.

Feedback? If you formally want to study plants even undergrad, you'd
better feel somewhat comfortable with biochemistry. Plant physiology
hits biochem very hard. Also plant genetics, but to a lesser extent.

If you want a graduate degree in Plant Sciences, you'd better love
molecular biology/biochemistry. Advanced Plant Genetics and Advanced
Plant Physiology were both pretty wicked trying to remember the
different metabolic pathways in plants.

Aggie studies, especially plants, seem to be regional. iow, we
emphasize citrus, cotton and turfgrasses (for golf courses) here. In
the midwest it'd likely be corn, wheat and soybeans.
