Advanced topics in plant science spanning plant biotechnology through to plant ecology including an integration of these sub-disciplines. Cutting edge advancements on plant disease, plant molecular biology, plant development, plant improvement, plant ecophysiology & sustainability, including the Australian & international context of global warming, water shortage & nitrogen fertilizer & fossil fuel limitation.
This is the capstone course for Plant Science at UQ. Plants produce the air we breathe, the food we eat, and are fundamental to life on earth. We need a doubling of food supply by 2050 to feed the world’s growing population; however, global warming and a reduced supply of arable land are major sources of concern. Plants and improved agricultural sustainability will be major parts of the solution. In this course, we seek to equip you with knowledge at the frontier of plant science and to provide you with the skills and abilities needed to pursue a career in plant science. The course includes a research project carried out in your chosen area of interest in plant science. A list of potential projects will be supplied at the start of semester. In addition, there are weekly interactive seminars spanning a variety of plant science topics.
At the School of Agriculture and Food Sustainability, we are committed to creating an inclusive and empowering learning environment for all students. We value and respect the diverse range of experiences our students bring to their education, and we believe that this diversity is crucial for fostering a rich culture of knowledge-sharing and meaningful exploration. We hold students and staff accountable for actively contributing to establishing a respectful and supportive learning environment.
Bullying, harassment, and discrimination in any form are strictly against our principles and againstﾠUQ Policy,ﾠand will not be tolerated.

Task description
A list of projects will be available on the course Blackboard site. You should consult this list and seek an appointment with the supervisor of the project you are interested in. Make sure to confirm the project you want to undertake with the course coordinator (Prof. Brett Ferguson). Ideally you should have organised your project by the end of the first or second week of semester. Before commencing your project work, make sure to complete all appropriate Risk Assessments and training procedures (e.g. School, Local, Online inductions). Discuss this with your project supervisor.
By the end of the fourth week of semester, you will be required to provide a project outline (1,250 – 2,000 words) with a Title page, brief background including literature review, aims and methods to be used, and references. Include a description of the steps you will undertake during the project. You may find that this changes as the semester progresses, but it is important to start with a plan. You also need to confirm that you have completed all Risk Assessments, inductions, and training procedures relevant to the project and describe any steps you need to take regarding safety. Discuss this with your project supervisor and let them see a draft of your plan well before the due date so you can get feedback.
Criteria & Marking: This will be marked out of 20: presentation (4 marks), brief background (4 marks), aims and methods to be used (4 marks), several relevant references written in a consistent style (3 marks). You should also include a timetable describing the steps you will undertake during the project (3 marks) and confirm the relevant inductions and Risk Assessments you were required to complete (2 marks).
This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI and/or MT technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance.
A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their submission independent of AI and MT tools.
The use of AI or MT must be acknowledged appropriately. Please see assessment guidelines in blackboard course site for specific instructions.

The main goals of this assessment are to develop scientific communication skills and to clearly and effectively convey project objectives and outcomes. It is recommended to prepare your seminar ahead of time and practice the presentation with your supervisor. Best to do this as early as possible to get plenty of feedback. One of the main advantages of the seminar is it helps focus on the main findings of the research, which will benefit your final report.
The length of each seminar will be determined based on how many are enrolled in the course.
The Seminar will be recorded.
Criteria & Marking: At least two staff will evaluate this assessment. The criteria are very similar to that used at the Honours level. In assigning a mark for each section examiners will consider the following points:
- Organisation and Preparation (7)
- Did the introduction clearly and concisely outline the nature and scope of the topic investigated?
- Did the introduction orient the listener to the relationship of the current project with existing knowledge?
- Were the materials and methods, and if necessary, the reasons for the choice of particular materials and methods, explained?
- Were the results clearly presented and logically ordered?
- Did the speaker use good judgement in presenting pertinent information and excluding non-essential or distracting details?
- Did the presentation standard indicate adequate preparation and rehearsal by the speaker?
- Were slides or other aids clear and helpful to the audience, rather than cluttered and confusing?
- Analysis and Understanding (7)
- Were the results adequately analysed, and critically evaluated?
- Did the conclusions relate the results to the objectives of the investigation?
- Did the speaker understand the research background and significance of the results?
- Did the speaker acknowledge any real shortfalls in the work and suggest ways to overcome or avoid these in future work, if appropriate?
- Style and Presentation (6)
- Did the speaker remember to face the audience when speaking, avoid reading the entire presentation, and avoid other distracting mannerisms?
- Did the speaker project his/her voice clearly to the audience?
- Were major concepts and conclusions explained clearly and precisely?
- Was the speaker able to increase your interest in the topic, through personal attributes: enthusiasm, imagination, etc.?
- Did the speaker keep to the allotted time and present material at a comprehensible rate?
- Did the speaker answer questions clearly and reply to the audience as a whole?
Note: if the class size becomes too large, the seminars may be split across two days. The length of each seminar will be determined based on how many are enrolled in the course.

Task description
Provide a draft of your report (including figures and results) to your supervisor as early as you can to get feedback. Make sure you fully understand the experimental design and the results.
For top marks you will write in the style expected of a top journal such as The Plant Cell, Molecular Plant, or Plant Physiology. Manuscripts are never sent to journals by authors in a fully-formatted, journal type-set, and you also are NOT required to do this. The project report will have the structure (and maximum word count) described below and be assessed by the course coordinator and at least one other participating staff.
It is anticipated that you will spend ~50 - 60 hours total on the project (including lab work or equivalent, reading, writing, data analysis, etc.). Some weeks may be more and some less, depending on the project requirements. You may want to spend additional time researching and reading about your topic, analysing your data, and preparing your report. It is recommended that you write as much as you can along the way so you have time at the end to finish it and obtain feedback from your supervisor. Talk to your supervisor about how to be efficient and productive, and to optimize your project, possibly by reducing and/or increasing specific aspects of the work.
The Final report should be approximately 3,500 - 5,000 words (excluding Title page, Table of Contents, Figure Legends, References and Appendices). Going above or below this word limit may result in loss of marks.
This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI and/or MT technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance.
A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their submission independent of AI and MT tools.
The use of AI or MT must be acknowledged appropriately. Please see assessment guidelines in blackboard course site for specific instructions.
Criteria & Marking
The project report should have the following structure, which is similar to that of a brief scientific paper. The % reflects the marks assigned to each component. Make sure to use an appropriate style to present your data in Figures and Tables (refer to top journals in the Plant Science field and consult your supervisor). Make sure to also cite relevant, peer-reviewed, articles relating to your project. Websites can be cited but are discouraged when peer reviewed literature is available. It is also very important to write everything in your own words as your report will be checked for originality in Turnitin.
