CourseSource is an open-access journal of peer-reviewed teaching resources for undergraduate biological sciences.

 

 

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s DNA Learning Center provides laboratory experiments, computer explorations, and an interactive exhibition for students, educators, and the public.

 

 

GameteMaker is a novel plant-based (rapid-cycling Brassica rapa) model system to help students connect mutant phenotypes with underlying, DNA sequence-based genotypes.

 

iBiology seeks to support educators who want to incorporate materials that illustrate the process and practice of science into their curriculum. iBiology’s open-access free videos feature leading scientists in biology, exploring how they think about scientific questions and conduct their research.

 

 

The Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC) provides seed and information resources to the International Arabidopsis Genome Programme and the wider research community. It was established in April 1991 as part of the Plant Molecular Biology initiative of the Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC). This handy and fun pamphlet from our friends at NASC will help you avoid the top 10 ways of (accidentally) killing your Arabidopsis plants: 10 Tips to Avoid Killing Arabidopsis

 

The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports the work of researchers who are mapping all the genes of model organisms, with the goal of identifying the location and function of each gene. These researchers have already made fundamental discoveries that may lead to the development of more beneficial crops and forest products. For more information, see Arabidopsis, The Model Plant.

 

 

 

Teaching Tools in Plant Biology (Higher Education) is a great place to find new resources for teaching plant biology.

 

 

 

 

Purdue University's 101 Ways to Grow Arabidopsis was created for researchers by researchers. This site reports the results of applied horticultural science experiments to determine methods of growing Arabidopsis thaliana that are successful, repeatable, and scalable.

 

 

The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) maintains a database of genetic and molecular biology data for the model higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Data available from TAIR includes the complete genome sequence along with gene structure, gene product information, metabolism, gene expression, DNA and seed stocks, genome maps, genetic and physical markers, publications, and information about the Arabidopsis research community. TAIR maintains an Education and Outreach portal which presents links to educational resources and outreach programs for Arabidopsis, plant biology, genomics and biotechnology, which may be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers.

 

 

The Dynamic Genome Program at the University of California, Riverside provides courses for students to conduct cutting edge research while learning core concepts in genomics and molecular biology.

 

 

 

The GenomeWeb Intelligence Network provides breaking news about genomics tools and technology.
