(3 units). Overview of embryo development, root meristems, shoot meristems, leaf and flower development, with an emphasis on the regulation of gene expression and signalling. Methods for investigating mechanisms of plant development. Discussion of current topics such as patterning in tissues, polarity and symmetry. Offered in alternate years. Previously BIO 4140. Course Component: Lecture Prerequisite: BIO 2137.
