With over 80 contributors a key strength of this teaching tool is that it is being developed by research active teaching academics.

Content now on-line includes:

30 on-line Summer School lectures delivered by leading plant scientists about their research, deliberately pitched at a level to engage and enthuse undergraduate students.

66 movie clips, including time lapse photography of plants, 3-D reconstructions of plant cells and animations.

Around 2000 PowerPoint lecture slides covering development, cells, metabolism, environment (abiotic) and biotic interactions.

Where a lecture slide is derived from a research paper it is linked to the original source for reference. All content which is available for download has been copyright cleared for educational use.
