Guest Blogpost: PCR & Gel Electrophoresis Protocols Link Genotype to Phenotype in Fast Plants

This blog post, written by the MiniPCR Team, describes the use of biotechnology kits and equipment (available from multiple suppliers) in the classroom to help students and learners understand the connection between observable phenotypic traits and underlying genotypes. These investigations can be approached at varying complexity, incorporating plant breeding and growing plants through their whole life cycle, depending on teaching goals. This post includes links to the necessary seeds and options for biotechnology equipment/materials to accomplish these investigations.
