BIOL 3772 Plant Development
Level: III
Semester: 2
Number of Credits: 3
Course Description
This course provides an advanced level focus on the molecular genetics, biochemical and physiological bases of plant development. Concepts of signal perception and transduction are initially reviewed. Students will be introduced to important experiments that have led to understanding many basic principles of plant development. Of particular importance is the use of mutation genetics as a tool to study development. Students in dissecting these experiments would be required to perform planned experiments and present their results and analysis in a group presentation format.
