Please sign up (the earlier the better!!) until Friday Nov 6th until 10.30am by sending an email to kvanveko@purdue.edu

You will receive a confirmation email from her to acknowledge your successful registration for your research project. The number of students per research project is limited and applicants from oversubscribed projects can be assigned other research projects.

Biotechnology Lab Data (GUS stained seedling images) is posted online under Data Biotechnology Lab.

The textbook "Plant Physiology 4th ed (Taiz, Zeiger)" is available at Follett's and University Bookstores!
