BIOC 6650 - Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology

3 hours

Contemporary plant biochemistry, with a focus on the major pathways for carbon and nitrogen metabolism and the acquisition of mineral nutrients, is integrated with plant physiology. The biotechnology component focuses on metabolic engineering and secondary metabolites (also called natural products) that help plants cope with their environments and provide compounds that improve quality of life for humans.
