The May issue of The American Biology Teacher features a research article co-written by Cor Jesu Science teacher Rita Ryan. Mrs. Ryan and students in her genetics classes have been participating in a program sponsored by the Danforth Plant Science Center where students analyze lab-generated mutant seed populations by growing and comparing plants to find traits that are useful to scientists who are improving crops for food, feed and fuel.
The full article, “Exploring Grass Morphology & Mutant Phenotypes Using Setaria viridis” can be found at https://online.ucpress.edu/abt/article/83/5/311/117023/Exploring-Grass-Morphology-amp-Mutant-Phenotypes
Congratulations, Rita on your outstanding work!
