Graduate Research Training Program in Plant Genetics

普渡大学植物遗传学系建议建立一个跨部门的研究生培训计划。 该提案目前有18名教师的互动核心人员，代表经典，生物化学，生理学和分子遗传学和遗传工程。 拟议的NSF植物遗传学培训补助金计划将强调现代遗传学基本概念的研究生培训，以及从基因到整个生物体的遗传学综合应用。 该计划的参与者具有针对植物系统独特和/或特别易于处理的基本生物学问题的生产性遗传研究计划;植物抗病性，植物生长和发育，植物基因组分析和植物基因工程。 该计划的未来毕业生将不仅拥有广泛的分子技能，而且还将在植物生物学的主要领域中彻底灌输问题。

The Purdue University plant genetics faculty proposes to establish an interdepartmental graduate training program. This proposal has a currently interactive core staff of 18 faculty representing classical, biochemical, physiological, and molecular genetics and genetic engineering. The proposed NSF Training Grant Program in Plant Genetics will emphasize graduate training in fundamental concepts of modern genetics, and the integrated application of genetics across the range of steps from the gene to the whole organism. The participants in the program have productive genetic research programs directed toward basic biological questions that are unique to and /or particularly tractable in plant systems; plant disease resistance, plant growth and development, plant genome analysis, and plant genetic engineering. Future graduates of the proposed program will possess not only a broad range of molecular skills, but will also be thoroughly indoctrinated in questions in the major areas of plant biology.
