I’m a physics undergrad so I’m afraid that I can’t give much advice on plant sciences job prospects or pros and cons with a biology major but I do know my school (University of Missouri-Columbia) has a pretty strong plant sciences department.

Department website: [Plant Sciences, University of Missouri](http://plantsci.missouri.edu/)
Also, the biology department would be worth checking out.

They also have TONS of research opportunities in plant sciences. In fact, they have a special program for incoming freshman who are interested in plant sciences called FRIPS (Freshman Research in the Plant Sciences).

FRIPS: [Freshman Research in Plant Sciences (FRIPS) | Undergraduate Research](http://undergradresearch.missouri.edu/programs-jobs/programs/FRIPS.php)

Hope this helps and good luck :)
