AndyAmine. Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Will do Apoth. was going to anyway. knew it was your kind of thing.Apparently they have substantialy higher levels of Alkaloids than other strains through selective cultivation by the CSIRO.

apothecary Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yah. I'm really beginning to wish I did a hort degree or something, because plants like D. myoporoides intruige me endlessly. I have to stop thinking about it right now or I'll get no work done for the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbane26 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yah. I'm really beginning to wish I did a hort degree or something, because plants like D. myoporoides intruige me endlessly. I have to stop thinking about it right now or I'll get no work done for the rest of the day.Well what is it exactly that interests you about these plants? I myself am very fascinated by secondary compounds produced by plants but I don't want to have to get a 4 year degree in Chemistry. It seems it is usually hard to find a biologist that really is into chemistry but also a chemist that likes biology. Someone will argue what about biochemists. I would still say in my opinion that they lean more towards the chemistry side just like organic chemistry isn't really much different than general chemistry except for there is barely any math and organic is more visual. Albert Hofmann was into natural product chemistry and although he probably knew more about chemistry he still knew somethings about biology and had an interest in it. I think he turned down jobs even though everything was turning towards relying on synthetics vs plants that can be just as effective as medicines. I am doing plant biology myself but even some things in biology i would agree are boring. This might be my opinion but ecology is probably one of the most interesting fields of biology and that is why it is usually taught towards the beginning of general biology so that by the time you get to molecular biology and dna, genetics..etc the students arnt already bored to death. Darwin and evolutionary biology was also interesting. Genetics is ok once you get a good grasp/ understanding of mitosis and meiosis and most of the basic stuff like how to do probabilities, different types of dominance. I guess genetics gets more complex towards the end and you have to know about biochemical pathways so biochemistry helps. When I first took genetics i thought it had to be the most boring section in general bio class after cell biology. I wonder if anyone knows if they offer plant chemistry where you dont need to take all those other chemistry classes beyond organic? I dont care about synthetic and nuclear chem or etc. Only if it applies to plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyPants Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Huh! My parents live around/near/in Kingaroy (not willing to divulge exact location on public board) and I had no idea about this. Might be something interesting to look at next time I'm up there and bored batshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
