Advanced Plant Biochemistry Course 1997
Washington State University.
Are you or any of your students interested?
The DOE/NSF/USDA Triagency supported Plant Biochemistry Research and
Training Center at Washington State University will conduct a training
course in plant biochemistry July 20-August 1, 1997, targeted to faculty,
