With equipment procured through this project, new laboratory exercises using plant cell and tissue culture are being introduced into courses in botany and cell biology. These exercises expose students to an important area of the plant sciences which currently is making significant contributions to the field of biotechnology. Students use techniques such as phase and fluorescence microscopy to follow the stages of development as isolated, individual plant cells are induced to produce new tissue, and eventually to give rise to whole new plants. This process vividly demonstrates to students the excitement of working with plant systems and stimulates interest in further work in the plant sciences -- an area into which additional women need to be recruited. The project holds promise for developing into a model that could be adopted widely in other institutions. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.

通过本项目采购的设备，新的实验室 利用植物细胞和组织培养的练习正在被引入到 植物学和细胞生物学课程。 这些练习让学生了解 植物科学的一个重要领域， 为生物技术领域做出了重大贡献。 学生使用 技术，如相位和荧光显微镜，以遵循 作为分离的发育阶段， 产生新的组织，并最终产生全新的 植物 这个过程生动地向学生展示了兴奋 与植物系统的工作，并激发进一步工作的兴趣 在植物科学领域--这是一个需要更多女性参与的领域， 招募的 该项目有望发展成为一个模型， 在其他机构中广泛采用。 受资助机构为 将NSF奖励与从非联邦政府获得的同等金额相匹配 源
