Plant Biology
I'm not sure if there are any classes out there that deal strictly with vegetables, but maybe this type of course might be what you are looking for.

Botany
Biology would really include animal life as well. If it is just the study of plants, the term is Botany, not Plant Biology.

: Since the source doc is a transcript and the term in question is the name of a course, I don´t see any reason why botany wouldn´t be a good option as well. It would be interesting to see if "plant biology" is often used as a course name, specifically.
