BIOL 443/02 (Fall, 2023): PLANT MOLECULAR GENETICS
This course includes a survey of specialized topics including plant disease resistance, signal transduction, the regulation of flower development, and the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture. Innovative applications of molecular analysis and genetic engineering in plants have had a dramatic impact on our basic understanding of plant growth and development and have a strongly influenced plant improvement in modern agriculture through genetic engineering. The course uses original research articles as the primary reading material and enhances the students’ skills in the use and analysis of primary literature.
Prerequisite: BIOL 367 Molecular Biology previously or concurrently.
