Structure, function, and analysis of plant genomes, genes, and gene products. Lecture format with frequent discussion of recent papers. Genome structure, transformation, gene tagging, transcription, signal transduction, organelles, and protein trafficking |
|
Signal Transduction Journal Club |
|
Participants discuss recent papers on signaling mechanisms that have been dissected using genetic and biochemical approaches. |
|
Statistical Genomics Discussion Group |
|
Participants discuss recent papers that involve both genetics and statistics. Sessions involve discussion of methods, re-analysis of datasets, exploration of alternative approaches, and biological interpretation of complex data. |

Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology |
PCB 5530 |
Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology provides an integrated overview of the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms enabling plant growth, development, and function. The lectures are designed to transition from textbook knowledge to the current primary literature in plant biology. Students will learn how to critically evaluate published work and how to expand molecular and cellular concepts to laboratory practice through the design of experiments and interpretation of results. This is an excellent course for graduate students that desire a fast-paced, up-to-date introduction to plant molecular and cellular biology. |
