3.00 Credits
This course is intended to be a treatment of current concepts of plant molecular biology. It will be a literature-based course, supplemented by handouts and reading lists. The course will deal as much as is possible with topics that are unique to plants. Current aspects of molecular biology that are relevant to the course content will be covered in the first part of the course; however, these lectures will not be a review of topics that should have been retained from introductory genetics and biochemistry courses. Also, they will not be a substitute for a molecular biology course. Prereq: One semester of undergraduate genetics and biochemistry or consent of instructor. (Same as PLS 620.)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A course for students in the biological and related sciences to be taught on various topics by specialists in their fields. Designed to give the student the most up-to-date information on the various topics. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credits under different subtitles. Prereq: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A physiological/biochemical treatment of central topics in modern plant physiology. Topics will include: plant-cell biology, ion transport, water and translocation, respiration and photosynthesis. Prereq: BIO 430G or equivalent or consent of coordinator. Prereq or concur: BCH 607. (Same as FOR/PLS 622.)
-
3.00 Credits
A physiological/biochemical treatment of central topics in modern plant physiology. Topics will include: plant hormones, an introduction to plant biotechnology, senescence and abscission, stress physiology, phytochrome-photomorphogenesis-phototropism nitrogen and sulfur metabolism. Prereq: BIO 430G or equivalent or consent of coordinator. Prereq or concur: BCH 607. (Same as FOR/PLS 623.)
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the natural history, ecology, and evolution of insect/plant relationships. Topics include mechanisms and theory of plant defense, behavioral and physiological adaptations of herbivorous insects, pollination biology, multitrophic-level interactions, causes of insect outbreaks, and applications to managed ecosystems. Critical reading and discussion of current literature is emphasized. Prereq: Two years of college-level biology. (Same as ENT 625.)
-
3.00 Credits
A molecular level treatment of cell structure and function derived from current experimental approaches. Eukaryotes will be stressed. Topics will usually include membrane structure and function, the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix, and bioenergetics. Lectures and discussions with reading in the original literature. Prereq: BIO 304 or equivalent; coreq: BCH 501 or equivalent or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a companion to BIO 632. Topics will usually include a molecular level discussion of gene structure, gene expression, and gene regulation, followed by the cell and molecular biology of cell proliferation, development, and differentiation. Lectures and discussions with reading in the original literature. Prereq: BIO 304 or equivalent, BCH 501 or equivalent or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of insect physiological processes including development, digestion, reproduction, respiration, excretion, hormones and immunity. Opportunity to learn techniques used in insect physiology and molecular biology. Prereq: Consent of instructor. (Same as ENT 635.)
-
4.00 Credits
Principles of insect molecular biology. Analysis of insect development, reproduction, behavior, immunity, transgenic insects and insecticide resistance at the molecular level. Hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques. Prereq: ENT/BIO 635 or consent of instructor. (Same as ENT 636.)
-
3.00 Credits
An explanation of the processes which contribute to the development of the nervous system. Neurophysiological, cell biological and molecular approaches to cell differentiation, neuronal pathfinding and synapse formation and stabilization will be explored and discussed. Examples will be drawn from both vertebrate and invertebrate preparations. Prereq: BIO 535 or consent of instructor. (Same as ANA/PGY/PSY 638.)
