5.3 RT-PCR Planning M 4/9/12

• 2-week old seedlings on plates - 2 plates per group (plates to refrigerator F 3/23, to growth chamber M 3/26)

• 1-week old seedlings on plates ¹ - 2 plates per group (for transfer experiments) (plates to refrigerator 3/30, to growth chamber 4/2)

• 10 microfuge tubes with sterile, imbibed seeds in small batches for germination experiments (enough in each tube for one plate) (4/6)

• 1 L MS in 100 mL aliquots for students to pour plates and add drugs or hormones, etc.)
