I am studying biological sciences in Brazil and I do so with an emphasis on botany and ecology. I have experience in plant anatomy, taxonomy, morphology, botanical ecology and genetics. I would like to spend a few years working in a country (in the Europe) before pursuing a master's or doctorate. Any suggestion? submitted by /u/OsloMilkyWay [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Gear for wetlands

The physiology tag is a joke, I thought it was funny to add it. I've been botanizing in wetlands more recently and my current prairie gear isn't really working once the water gets knee deep. I was wondering if all of you have any recommendations for what to wear. I wanna get some waders and some more water resistant shoes to wear with them. Any recommendations on how to keep cool in the texas heat would be great too. submitted by /u/Comfortable-Soup8150 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Can I pursue a career in botany with a bachelor in Biology?

Honestly going through a professional identity crisis atm, which is why I’m considering getting another degree. According to others I’ve talked to, Biology does complement my Psyc degree. Although, Im also taking a specific interest in Botany. Yeah, I know im all over the place. I suppose what I really want is to work in a lab setting. I am deeply fascinated with research. Anyway, if I do seek a degree in bio, is it possible for me to pursue a (research) career in botany? I suppose I should also ask what botany truly entails. Thanks in advance. Edit: My former university doesn’t offer a botan ..read more

I have a strange question. I live in GA USA,. Easter can fall anywhere between the beginning of March to the end of April. My question is...why is it that no matter when Easter falls the dogwood trees always seem to bloom one week before it? submitted by /u/Existing_Many9133 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Calculating gravimetric water content of plants?

Hi all. I am doing a study in which I calculate the gravimetric water content of soils and well as plants. To calculate soil gravimetric water content, the formula is (mass of wet soil - mass of dry soil) / mass of dry soil However, when I use this same formula for plant stems, using the same oven drying technique, I get more than 100% total water content for the final plant water value. Should I be using a different formula than the soils? submitted by /u/erica_birdy11 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The massive ball which the main canes of a blackberry plant sprout from appears to be very wood-like, is it classified as wood? Or if not, does it have the same/similar cell structure as wood? submitted by /u/salted_none [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Plant science major…can’t decide what to pursue.

I live in Southern California and need to stay in the area as I have commitments here. I wanted to go to Uc Davis for my masters/phd but unfortunately that’s not doable as I need to stay in Southern California…next best thing will be UC riverside but I’m torn on what to study: plant biology, plant pathology (PhD program is fully funded) or entomology(UC Riverside ranks #2) I still have a year to decide, but I’m just torn. Plant pathology really interests me as I’m also into plant breeding etc. But entomology is also very fascinating. Then there’s plant biology but not sure what jobs there are ..read more

This French Marigold seedling is a little over a month old and has no growing tip and fused cotyledons. The stem and cotyledons have fattened up and I’m very curious to see how large it will get/how long it can survive. Would love to hear if anyone has an explanation for this! submitted by /u/mutual_head [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

There are transparent/translucent brilliant dots, scattered on pepper leaves (visible against strong source of light), do peppers have oil glands, like citruses or mint? if not oil glands, what are those structures? 'just' some transparent parts of the leaves with no particular purpose? pepper is some kind of capsicum annuum leaf (younger) of capsicum annuum against light leaf (older) of capsicum annuum against light submitted by /u/AstaMuratti [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
