PLSCI 6831
Concepts and Techniques in Plant Biology
This course is the first of a two-semester sequence (with PLSCI 6841) which together provide a broad overview of concepts related to the study of plant molecular biology. It is intended to bring first-year graduate students in plant molecular biology to a common background in genetics, biochemistry and phylogenetics.
Topics
- Identify and describe key research areas related to plant molecular biology.
- Explain, give relevant examples of, and make predictions using fundamental concepts of biochemistry, genetics and phylogeny.
- Integrate these same concepts into their understanding and interpretation of experimental techniques and interpretation of results.
- Articulate how experimental techniques constrain interpretation of experimental data.
- Evaluate current literature.
