Interdisciplinary Research Training Group on Mechanisms of Plant Evolution

9602223 Wessler该奖项为专注于植物进化机制的多学科培训研究项目提供了额外的支持。该项目由来自三个系的9名教师共同努力，旨在对学生进行植物系统学、种群生物学和分子遗传学的教育和培训。在三个实验室轮岗和适当的课程之后，研究生要进行跨学科的论文项目，这些项目至少要跨越三个重点领域中的两个。高级学生需要与参与的教师进行实习，该教师的专业知识与他们的论文导师的专业知识互补。这个实习发生在论文研究进行期间，并意味着包括研究不可或缺的论文。，从而促进跨学科项目。此外，该项目还通过针对佐治亚大学和附近学院学生的暑期实习项目，为本科生提供培训。

9602223 Wessler This award provides additional support for a multidisciplinary training research training program focused on the mechanisms of plant evolution. The program, a joint effort of 9 faculty from three departments, aims to educate and train students in plant systematics, population biology and molecular genetics. Following three lab rotations and appropriate coursework, graduate students undertake interdisciplinary thesis projects that are meant to span at least two of the three focal areas. Advanced students are required to undertake an internship with a participating faculty member whose expertise is complementary to that of their thesis advisor. This internship occurs during the period when thesis research is underway, and is meant to include studies integral to the thesis., thereby facilitating interdisciplinary projects. In addition, the program provides training of undergraduate students through a summer intern program targeted at students at the University of Georgia and nearby colleges.
