PMB 160: Plant Molecular Genetics

PMB 160: Plant Molecular Genetics (Spring 2012, UC Berkeley). Instructors: Prof. Robert Fischer and Prof. Jennifer Fletcher. Plant and Microbial Biology 160: Plant Molecular Genetics - A consideration of plant genetics and molecular biology. Principles of nuclear and organellar genome structure and function: regulation of gene expression in response to environmental and developmental stimuli; clonal analysis; investigation of the molecular and genetic bases for the exceptional cellular and developmental strategies adopted by plants.
