Hopeful Monsters: Laboratory Analysis of Plant Mutants

Catalog description

Description: The course will focus on the analysis of selected mutants of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The mutations affect different parts of the plant, including altered cell types, organ identity changes, malformed tissues and organs, unusual organ or seed sizes, and altered fertility. There are seven modules, each consisting of directed and independent analyses of mutations. Light microscopy will be the primary method for the analysis of the mutations.
