PLANTBI 101L

Experimental Plant Biology Laboratory

3 credits · Undergraduate

Students will perform state-of-the-art research to address an important question in modern plant biology. The experimental progression exposes students to a variety of modern molecular approaches and techniques. Experimental design, data acquisition, and analysis of the student's real experimental data is emphasized. Research results will be presented in written and oral formats similar to those used in research laboratories.

Topics

Students will participate in ongoing scientific research, applying theoretical knowledge to a current scientific question in plant biology. Students will work in small teams to perform and troubleshoot experiments, document and interpret results, and present research findings.
