Applicants should have a strong undergraduate background in
biological sciences, biochemistry, calculus, chemistry through
organic, physics, and genetics; however, deficiencies may be made
up during the first year of graduate study.
Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree requirements
are given in the General Information section of this catalog.
PCB 5065: Advanced Genetics(4) Prereq: AGR 3303 or PCB 3063

discipline. Examines genetic principles including gene and gene
function; recombination and linkage; molecular markers, multipoint
linkage analysis, and positional cloning; and quantitative,
population, developmental, and non-Medalian genetics. Offered in
fall term.
PCB 5530: Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (3) Prereq:
undergraduate molecular biology or biochemistry. Integrated
overview of the fundamental mechanisms enabling plant growth,
development, and function, and approaches to study these at
molecular level. Topics include replication, repair, transcription,
