AGP 655 - Plant Molecular Biology

Credit Hours: 3

This course encompasses detailed coverage of nucleic acids, plant genomes, gene structure and expression, DNA replication and repair, and cell reproduction. Students will also be exposed to the major molecular underpinnings of plant survival with topics from primary literature, such as regulation of photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, drought response, and cold tolerance. Bioinformatics will also be introduced. May be taught concurrently with AGP 455. Cannot receive credit for both AGP 455 and AGP 655.
