Congratulations Graduates

Leaders in Our Field

Plants and microbes are the foundation of life. Advancing discoveries in plant research is essential to civilization, and that’s exactly what we do.

Our undergraduate and graduate students participate in research projects across an array of plant and microbiology disciplines — everything from biotechnology and cell biology to ecology and systematics. Students learn from experts who specialize not only in agriculturally important crops, but also those found in natural ecosystems, and model plants and microorganisms.

PMB Seminars

Seminars are held on Tuesdays at 4:00 pm in the Stephens Room, Thomas Hall. Refreshments are served at 3:45 pm. Want to receive announcements of our seminars? Email Dwayne Barnes (dabarnes@ncsu.edu).
