Intended improvements include adding a bibliography and explanations. This is an online molecular biology manual for a senester-long molecular plant biology project involved in characterizing Arabidopsis cDNA clones. This site was constructed by Jonathan Monroe and Ivor Knight, Department of Biology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia. This is designed as a semester-long investigation of plant genetics using the model species Arabidopsis thaliana . Mutants are induced, isolated, reproduced by seed and then characterized.
Students construct their own experiments to analyze the mutations and to learn their significance.

Illustrations are copyrighted, but are available if used in a classroom setting and properly acknowledged. These pages are maintained by the Center for Aquatic Plants, University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Although these link to rudimentary descriptions, they provide a nice start on terminology for those interested in the academic sides of botany.
