Acquisition of Plant Biotechnolgy Instrumentation

亚拉巴马农工大学，一个历史上的黑人土地赠款 大学，通过系统和渐进的努力， 制定了全面的研究和培训计划， 生物学 这一努力最近得到了国家的承认， 批准授予博士学位植物与土壤科学专业 这是历史上唯一的博士课程 黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）。 该提案概述了目前正在进行的五项单独研究 涉及六个主要用户和众多研究人员 科学家，研究生和本科生。 文化和 它们在小麦族（小麦，大麦，黑麦， 小黑麦）、松属（南方松）和Cossypium物种。 这些 将努力利用共焦、倒置和立体显微镜， 需要低温设备和生物反应器。 植物转化 将通过核酸测序仪加强研究， 合成仪、激光密度计和凝胶分析仪。 调查 抗寒性的调控是一个证明 正在进行的植物激素和植物生长调节研究， 程序. 液相色谱仪（带二极管阵列）的可用性 HPLC和离子色谱法）和液体闪烁计数器， 标记的激素和物质将有助于加强这种 research.

Alabama A & M University, a historically black land grant university, through a systematic and progressive effort has developed a comprehensive research and training program in plant biology. This effort was recently recognized by the State granting it approval to offer a Ph.D. program in Plant and Soil Science. This is the only doctoral program of its kind among historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This proposal outlines five individual research that are currently underway involving six primary users and numerous research staff scientists, graduate and undergraduate students. The culture and their cytogenetic evaluation in Triticeae (wheat, barley, rye, triticale), Pinus (Southern pines) and Cossypium species. These efforts will utilize the confocal, inverted and stereomicroscopes, cryogenic apparatus and bioreactor requested. Plant transformation research will strengthen by the nucleic acid sequencer and synthesizer, laser densitometer, and gel analyzers. Investigations and manipulation of cold hardiness is a topic that exemplifies ongoing phytohormone and plant growth regulation studies in the program. Availability of liquid chromatograph (with diode array HPLC and ion chromatography) and liquid scintillation counters for labeled hormones and substances will aid in strengthening this research.
