HS 790m
- 1 hr credit
- Instructor: Dr. Steve Clouse
- Time: Spring Semester, March 27 through May 1, 2003
- Time: Tuesday and Thursday, 4:05 – 5:20 pm
- Place: Kilgore Hall, Room 103
- Prerequisites: Undergraduate courses in one or more of the following
- Genetics, Biochemistry and Plant Physiology
- A graduate mini-course covering the methods of plant molecular biology
