Classes

    Pls620 - Plant Molecular Biology; Credits - 3
    This course is intended to be a treatment of current concepts of plant molecular biology. It will be a literature-based course, supplemented by handouts and reading lists. The course will deal as much as is possible with topics that are unique to plants. Current aspects of molecular biology that are relevant to the course content will be covered in the first part of the course; however, these lectures will not be a review of topics that should have been retained from introductory genetics and biochemistry courses. Also, they will not be a substitute for a molecular biology course. Prereq: One semester of undergraduate genetics and biochemistry or consent of instructor. (Same as BIO 620.) .
    Instructors: Arthur G. Hunt
