Project Title: Medusa Gene
Project Description:
Projects will center around the developmental biology and molecular
biology of a gene, medusa, which affects dorsal ventral patterning in
the plant, Arabidopsis. Specific techniques involved will be mutant
screening, molecular biology, genetic crosses.
