The annual UC Davis Plant Sciences Symposium is ON for 2022! We are thrilled to bring together the Plant Sciences community for a hybrid event, organized and hosted by graduate students, after two long, virtual years. We are committed to the safety of all, and COVID-19 symptom surveys are required for in-person participants.

For the first time, an ecologist has shown that genetic variety within one species can affect the survival of other creatures in a larger food web. The discovery has profound implications for crop production and environmental restoration, researchers say.

Get free tomato and strawberry transplants and fresh popcorn, and have an expert identify your weeds, at the Department of Plant Sciences during UC Davis’ Picnic Day celebration, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 23. Come to the courtyard on the courtyard side of the department’s main building. It’s a block west of the Memorial Union, on North Quad between Howard Way and California Avenue.
