University of Oregon High School Mentorship Program in Plant Molecular Biology

An opportunity for students to get hands on experience in a molecular biology research lab doing an experiment...

...whose results are unknown...

...and those results could make a valuable contribution to a current and ongoing project!

To apply to our program:

Background information:

  • Tutorial 1: What is photosynthesis and what can we learn about it from mutant corn plants?
  • Tutorial 2: Where do mutant corn plants come from? Do they have mutant siblings? parents? children? See how genetics can help answer these questions.
