About

Mission

The goal of the Plant Transformation Research Center (PTRC) is research on efficient procedures for transforming plants of interest to researchers at UCR. This includes species of economic interest in California , and model systems used to investigate gene function. The PTRC facilitates the research of many UCR scientists who are investigating genes important in metabolic, physiological and developmental processes. The PTCR can provide cost-effective access to biochemical and molecular methods utilized in the analysis of genetically modified plants. The PTRC also serves as a resource in training students, post docs, and staff in technologies related to plant transformation.
