Mission
Our mission is to discover, maintain, and transmit knowledge concerning basic plant biology and provide leadership in the biological sciences.
Lifelike chemistry created in lab search for ways to study origin of life
Research in the Baum Lab shows that simple laboratory techniques can spur the kinds of reactions that are likely necessary to explain how life got started on Earth some four billion years ago.
Beautiful wonder
For botanist Ken Cameron, orchids fascinate as well as inspire him to further research in plant evolution and biodiversity.
Lofty Goals
Botany grad student Evan Eifler rediscovers Geissorhiza esterhuyseniae in the remote peaks of South Africa.
