This course involved collaboration of faculty from plant physiology, horticulture, plant breeding, food science, plant pathology, chemistry, biochemistry, postharvest physiology, and the medical sciences working on different forms of cancer and other diseases. This multidisciplinary approach resulted in an increase in teaching efficiency and instilled the value of interdisciplinary research in the students. The course is unique in that it empirically demonstrates how fruits and vegetables play a dominant role in our daily life. The modern technology of distance education is the tool that made this course possible and allows the expertise of diverse faculty members to blend. Offering this curriculum through distance learning made this courseware available to a large number of students located in different parts of Texas and other states. The unique educational CD ROM, videotape and Web Technology developed for this course enhances lecture material and provides timely information for collaborators, students, and general public. The core team members: instructor (Patil), web master (Lineberger) and Curriculum Vitae Page 5 of 80 evaluation expert (Dooley), made this course useful and students from several institutions in the nation have received tremendous benefits.
