**Subcategories:** Agriculture/Agronomy Development Ecology Genetics Photosynthesis Plant Physiology (Molecular, Cellular, Organismal) Plant Systematics, Evolution

**DEV Development** - The study of plant life from egg to germination. **ECO Ecology (plant/animal or plant/plant interactions)** - The science of the interactions and relationships between plants and plants and animals within their environment. **PHO Photosynthesis** - The study of the process by which plants convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, using sunlight as the source of energy with the aid of chlorophyll. **PHY Plant Physiology ( Molecular, Cellular, Organismal)** - The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms/plants. **POP Population Genetics** - The study of genetic composition of populations in order to understand the evolutionary forces that select for particular genes. **SYST Plant Systematics and Evolution** - Systematic classification of organisms and the evolutionary relationships among them; taxonomy.
