PLANT PHYSIOLOGY RESEARCH AS A BASIS FOR HORTICULTURAL EDUCATION WITH ESPECIAL REFERENCE TO WOODY PLANT TECHNOLOGY |
| Authors: | Colin R. Norton, M. E. Norton |
| Abstract:
Research on the physiology of woody plants has received insufficient attention to form an adequate base for teaching. The problem is partly driven by the need for rapid productivity in research environments resulting in many researchers working on faster growing plants. However, significant research funds can be secured for this type of work resulting in significant educational benefits. For example, work on woody plant seed physiology, in vitro culture of woody plants and performance and deterioration in large trees has produced a basis for teaching and extension work. A second advantage is the injection of significant funding for the research which results in a broader range of facilities with secondary educational benefits. | |
