This program gives motivated undergraduates the opportunity to work in active research laboratories in an intense summer research experience. The undergraduate research fellows work independently or as part of research teams on problems in plant biology, plant developmental biology, plant biochemistry, plant systematics and plant gene expr ession. Research approaches include a wide variety of techniques of modern cell and molecular biology and biochemistry. There are only limited opportunities for field research.
Some projects are of agricultural relevance.
There will be special group a ctivities for the fellows and opportunities to learn about recent advances, careers, and graduate programs in plant biology.
