 A tree as lovely as an Arabidopsis.

Introduction

The Arabidopsis thaliana Biology Lab headed by Dr. James Campanella of the Department of Biology, Montclair State University, is a center for the study of Arabidopsis Physiology as well as the phylogenetic origins of the species A. thaliana. This page contains data on some of the experimental work being done in our lab as well as some info on the classes taught by Dr. Campanella.
