About the Department

The overriding aim of the Department of Plant Biology is to have positive transformative impacts locally, nationally, and internationally in areas of plant agriculture, biotechnology, horticulture, and basic plant biology and pathology. Impacts that relate to the Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; School of Environmental and Biological Sciences; and New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station missions are essential to the continued growth of the department, school, and experiment station.

Continued impacts will ensure relevance of the school and experiment station long into the future. To ensure these goals, the department has set forth a vision and departmental guidelines and is aligned with research centers and institutes to help serve the state of New Jersey.
