Need Help Finding education in plant genetics

Hi Tom.  Good for you!  Lots of folks reading this newsgroup feel the same
way you do about plants.

>I am 17 now and cannot find any place for
>education  in genetic reasearch/engenering, Biochemistry with plants, tissue
>culturing.


Here are some websites to start with:

The American Society of Plant Physiologists page of links to plant
education sites:
http://www.aspp.org/education/edlink.htm

Scott Russell's Big Botanical Site:
http://www.ou.edu/cas/botany-micro/bot-linx/subject.shtml

The Arabidopsis thaliana Database (AtDB) - mostly intended for researchers
using a plant called arabidopsis.  This plant's entire genome is currently
being sequenced so if you are at all interested in plant genetics this is
the plant to study!
http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Arabidopsis/

This last site is a list of URLs collected in a paper called "Plant Biology in
the Post-Gutenberg Era: Everything you Wanted to Know and More on the World
Wide Web." which was published in the journal "Plant Physiology".

Good luck!
