 The Department of Botany offers graduate work
leading to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of
Agriculture, Master of Science in Teaching, and Doctor
of Philosophy.
 Specific areas of specialization in botany include
anatomy/morphology with emphasis on tropical ferns,
aquatic plants, orchids, and woody plants; bryology;
development of seed plants, protoplast, cell and tissue
culture; ecology and environmental studies; cellular and
molecular genetics; mycology with emphasis on mor-
phology, systematics, and development; algology with
emphasis on algae of brine ponds; physiology and bio-
chemistry with emphasis on ion uptake, photosynthesis
and photorespiration, sugar metabolism and transport,
hormonal control of fungal reproduction, and cell wall
synthesis; systematics with emphasis on monographic
and floristic studies.
 For admission to graduate standing a student should
 present credits equivalent to those required for
 undergraduate majors in the department. Undergraduate
 major requirements include 24 credits in botany, a course
 in genetics with laboratory, mathematics through dif-
 ferential calculus, one year of college physics, and
 chemistry through organic. Those admitted without full
 equivalents of an undergraduate major will be required
 to make up the deficiencies by passing appropriate
 course early in their graduate programs. A reading
 knowledge of a foreign language and credit for basic
 courses in zoology and bacteriology are desirable. The
 program of graduate study for each student will be deter-
 mined by a supervisory committee. No more than seven
 credits of BOT 6905 may be used to satisfy the credit
 requirements for a master's degree. Each student pursu-
 ing the Ph.D. degree will be required to pass a written
 departmental examination on designated major areas of
 botany prior to the oral portion of the qualifying
 examination.
 There are, in addition to the facilities of the department,
 the following special resources that may be utilized in
 support of graduate student training and research: (1) the
 Florida Agricultural Experiment Stations, (2) the Marine
 Sciences Center on the Gulf of Mexico for studies in
 estuarine and marine habitats, (3) the resources of the
 Welaka Conservation Reserve, and (4) the Center for
 Tropical Agriculture, which can support studies in
 tropical and subtropical areas.
