This award provides funds to the Department of Botany at Ohio State University to help purchase equipment to be used in a new two- quarter course in modern plant biology. The new course (BOT 102) includes a completely new laboratory component. Written by experts in sub-specialties of plant science, most exercises use the new rapid cycling Brassicas and all call for hands-on experimentation and observation using current technology. Equipment to be purchased with this grant will be used in three of the ten lab exercises: 1) For Cell Structure--video cameras, monitors, and video recorders will allow the students to observe special cellular structures and phenomena visible with fluorescent or oil immersion microscopy...instruments which are prohibitively expensive for individual student use. 2) For Development and Biotechnology-- sterile transfer hoods will support experiments with plant hormones using tissue culture techniques. 3) For Photosynthesis, Phototropism, and Phototaxis--the students will use spectrophotometers, chart recorders, quantum radiometers, centrifuges, balances, etc. to learn how plants absorb and utilize light efficiently in food production. The grantee is matching this award with non-Federal sources.

该奖项为俄亥俄州植物学系提供资金 帮助大学购买设备，用于新的两个- 现代植物生物学四分之一课程。 新球场（BOT 102） 包括一个全新的实验室组件。 专家撰写 在植物科学的子专业中，大多数练习使用新的 快速循环的植物，所有要求动手实验 和观测的能力 装备 用这笔赠款购买的将用于十个实验室中的三个 练习：1）对于细胞结构-摄像机，监视器， 录像机将使学生能够观察特殊的细胞 荧光或油浸可见的结构和现象 显微镜昂贵的仪器， 个别学生使用。2)发展和生物技术- 无菌转移罩将支持植物激素实验 使用组织培养技术。 3)对于光合作用， 向光性和趋光性--学生们将使用 辐射计，图表记录器，量子辐射计， 离心机，天平等，以了解植物如何吸收和利用 光在粮食生产中的效率。 受赠人正在匹配此 非联邦来源的奖项。
