植物综合生物学小组的成员研究高等植物的形式，功能，进化和生态。研究兴趣包括发展的分子生物学，生长的生物化学和生理学，生理生态学，分子系统学以及种群，社区和景观生态学。对高等植物的兴趣使团队团结在一起，并在教师和学生之间产生广泛而富有成效的互动。小组成员每年都会提供研究生研讨会课程。这些研讨会探讨了植物生物学各个领域的高级和新兴主题，并帮助学生了解实验设计和结果解释。最近的研讨会主题包括生物地理学，高级系统学，植物与动物的相互作用以及植物生理学。
The members of the Plant Biology group study the form, function, evolution, and ecology of higher plants. Research interests include the molecular biology of development, the biochemistry and physiology of growth , physiological ecology, and population, community, and landscape ecology. Interest in higher plants unifies the group and generates extensive and productive interactions among faculty and students.<br>The Wake Forest University Ph.D. in Biology allows students to pursue exciting research in a wide range of disciplines across the biological sciences. Our program emphasizes building strong conceptual foundations, innovative research training and opportunities, and professional skills to succeed in a range of individual career goals. Biology Ph.D. students receive full tuition remission and competitive stipend support for five years of study.
