1. |
Outline |
|
This class will provide several current topics on plant molecular biology, including seed germination and dormancy; vegetative growth and reproductive growth; responses to environmental factors, and also review the major scientific databases. Students will learn about basic Internet tools needed to conduct biology research, including the database/web-tool for genomic information, transcriptome, and metabolome.
|
2. |
Objectives |
|
This class will provide an understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in regulation of plant growth and development, including plant evolution and structure; plant growth and development; flowering and flower development; responses to environmental factors; and provide an essential background about bioinformatics, basic techniques needed to conduct biology research.
|
