Mutational Analysis of Maize Embryo Development

这项行动支持一项研究和培训计划，以扩大美国土著印第安人对生物学的参与。该项目将支持Dale C. Brunelle在赞助科学家William F. Sheridan博士的实验室完成北达科他州大学的博士研究。该研究的目标是利用功能基因组学以及传统的遗传学和分子生物学策略识别和表征对玉米胚胎发育的各个方面至关重要的基因。培训目标包括遗传学、发育生物学和功能基因组学。更广泛的影响包括扩大美国土著印第安人作为拥有生物科学博士学位的独立调查员的参与。

This action supports a research and training plan to broaden participation of Native American Indians in biology. The project will support Dale C. Brunelle to complete doctoral research at the University of North Dakota in the lab of sponsoring scientist Dr. William F. Sheridan. The goal of the research is to identify and characterize genes crucial for all aspects of maize embryo development using functional genomics as well as traditional genetics and molecular biology strategies.Training objectives include genetics, developmental biology, and functional genomics. Broader impacts include broadening the participation of Native American Indians as independent investigators with Ph.D.s in the Biological Sciences.
