Undergraduates Phenotyping <italic toggle="yes">Arabidopsis</italic> Knockouts in a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience: Exploring Plant Fitness and Vigor Using Quantitative Phenotyping Methods

We present a curriculum description, an initial student outcome investigation, and sample scientific results for a representative Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that is part of the “Undergraduates Phenotyping Arabidopsis Knockouts” (unPAK) network. CUREs in the unPAK network c...
