Thea ready to pour plant tissue culture medium
Thea and Lab Tech Jacqueline
Thea conducting corn tissue culture
Thea completing first PCR
The Lab welcomes 👍🏼#undergrad Thea J. #ECSU. She is part of our corn 🌽 NSF grant. We are improving regeneration from seedling tissues and introducing morphogenic factors using Agrobacterium🧬🧫🦠🌱. Thea is supervised by Lab Tech Jacqueline and peer mentored by Nicole. #ECSUVikingsScience #plant

Undergrads Carmen S. and Ainya F. (part-time greenhouse lab techs). Did everything including research on medicinal properties
Medicinal plants in greenhouse
Also growing course and research plants for seed collection
Praying Mantis in greenhouse
Restarted the Medicinal Plant of the Month display in the lobby of Jenkins Science Center #ECSU. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼to undergrads Carmen and Ainya (GH lab techs 💻⚕️💊), and ECSU for the repairs🔨. Our trusty praying mantis is on guard (IPM 🐞🐛. #ECSUVikingsScience #hbcu #plants
It’s homEComing! #VikingPride #ECSU
Loving all the homecoming vibes this season! Community, connection, and celebration are exactly what we need right now. Counting down the days until my alma mater’s homecoming; it’s almost that time! 💙🤍

Experiment on seed germination (fresh vs dry wts; seeds germinated for a week so data collection at unscheduled times)
Light vs chlorophyll on starch production; setting up respirometers with germinating vs dry seeds; histology of plant organs
Plants and results
Completed the classical plant experiments in General Botany #ECSU. Undergrads collected data on fresh/dry wt. ⚖️ of seeds 🌰 for a week; histology🔬 of plant organs; light ☀️vs chlorophyll on photosynthesis ⚗️🧪🌱; respiration (germinating vs dry seeds 🌰). #ECSUVikingsScience #hbcuexcellence
Undergrads loading their first vertical gels. Whatever method it takes 👍🏼. Looked at effects of 2 denaturation times on fish proteins
Undergrads making own dilutions of sucrose and salt
Results on effects of different sucrose and salt solutions on plasmolysis in red onion epidermal cells
Loading vertical protein gels 👍🏼👍🏼 #ECSU. Undergrads in Molecular Biology looked at fish 🐟 proteins (Edvotek). All the ohs and ahs 🙄😃 when General Botany undergrads see their first plasmolysed epidermal cells (red onion 🔴🌰 in different conc. of sucrose🍬 and salt🧂). #ECSUVikingsScience

Undergrads in General Botany
Testing for macromolecules under watchful eyes of TA (seniors Carmen and Ashna: bottom pic)
Making LB media in Molecular Biology
LB media w/o activated charcoal. Final results of macromolecules tests.
Expts. have started in earnest #ECSU. Macromolecules tests ⚗️🧪🎨 with control (water) and unknown sol'n (General Botany); and making LB media 🧫 (Molecular Biology). Added some activated charcoal ⚫️ for #agarart 🔴🔵🟣🟢. Idea 💡 from @atinygreencell.bsky.social. #ECSUVikingsScience #hbcuexcellence
Undergrads in BIOL 499: Biological Research, in front of the oak tree, by the Library, on the campus of #ECSU
This oak tree has been sequenced. They will annotate the chloroplast and possibly mitochondrial/nuclear genomes
Our project on the oak 🌰 tree 🌳 by the Library continues #ECSU. Biological Research undergrads will be annotating the chloroplast genome. Part of the ACTG project of Dr. Alex Harkess (HudsonAlpha Inst.). Last fall, we sequenced HMW DNA 🌱🧪🧬 (excellent quality 👌). #ECSUVikingsScience #hbcu
Plant nodal cultures
Nodal culture under the laminar flow hood
Still enjoy 👍🏼 doing plant nodal cultures 🌱🧫 after almost 30 years #ECSU. The laminar flow hood is humming, my music 🎶 is playing in the background but still a silence 🔕as no talking (increase in contamination🦠🍄). The interplay between the forceps and the scalpel..... #perfect 💐 #plants
Petunia leaf explants transformed with auxotrophic Agrobacterium. RUBY reporter gene expression 🔴
👏👏 to auxotrophic Agrobacterium. 5th week of culture and no sign of Agro overgrowth. Less antibiotics also needed in selection media 🧫. Great for #undergrad labs. Will transform most of my plant plasmids 🧬 into these strains 🦠🧪. Petunia leaf explants 🌱 transformed with RUBY🔴. #ECSU #plant

Quote of the day: “What we realized is that if you really want to continue to grow your enrollment, high school graduates cannot be the only population you serve." Farrah Ward, provost/VCAA, Elizabeth City State Univ., N. Carolina. buff.ly/PTtaHw9 This is transfer students' era! #AcademicSky #ECSU
Ainya and Carmen in renovated greenhouse
Re- started plant collections in the greenhouse
Extrakta sage. Students took pictures of every plant
Hyssop. Maintaining data on germination rate, days to flowering, and seed set
Our Greenhouse is back 🙌. Thanks to #ECSU for all the renovations 💐. We have re-started our plant collections 🪴. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼 to undergrads, Ainya and Carmen for planting, etc 🌸🌼🌻🌺. Will bring back the Medicinal Plant of the Month in the lobby. #ECSUVikingsScience #hbcu #plants

Horticulture students from the local Community College (Albemarle) with their Professor, Dr. Buabeng.
Placing African violet leaves into tissue culture. Under the watchful eyes of Lab Tech, Mrs. Henderson
Cutting sterile leaves of African violet
Placing potato into media for microtuber formation. Dr. Buabeng also did some cultures.
The Lab welcomed Horticulture students from COA (annual event now) #ECSU. They placed their African violet 🪴 into sterile 🧫 culture (leaf 🍃 explants). They also started purple 🟣 potato 🥔 microtuber formation. They will observe in their lab (will visit a few weeks later). #ECSUVikingsScience
Jacqueline sterilizing corn seeds; and moving them to new media
Somatic embryos from corn developing into shoots and roots.
Nothing like that feeling of anticipation and then relief when an expt. works for the first time 🎆 #ECSU. Jacqueline was successful in developing somatic embryos and plants from mature corn 🌽 seedling leaf slices. Will be used in CUREs for General Botany and Molecular Biology. ##ECSUVikingsScience
Mrs. Jacqueline H. back in the lab
Welcome, Mrs. Jacqueline H. #ECSU. She will be the Lab Tech on the new NSF grant (factors affecting maize 🌽 regeneration 🧬🧪🧫, etc.). Jacqueline was a part-time lab tech and an #undergradresearcher. Great to have her back in the lab 👍🏼👍🏼. #ECSUVikingsScience #hbcu
Undergrads in the Plant Genetics and Molecular Biology Teaching and Research Lab.
Montly lab meeting and Cupcake 🧁 Thursday.
Middle and high school students from the Biotech Club.
Happy Fall 2024 #ECSU. Some undergrads said hello, stayed awhile, and a few goodbye 😭. Projects in PTC and transformation started, continued, and some completed 🧬🧪🧫🍃🪴🌽. We welcomed undergrads from BIOL 499. Ended the term with students from the local Biotech Club. #ECSUVikingsScience #plant
Dr. Young, part of collaborative grant that will study morphogenic factors on maize regeneration
Thanks to NSF for this opportunity #ECSU. Looking forward to working with Andrea G. @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social, @bas-bargmann.bsky.social, and Dave J. @cshlaboratory.bsky.social 🧬🧪🧫🌽👍🏼👍🏼. #ECSUVikingsScience

Juelle defending her Undergrad Thesis.
Thanks to the Thesis Committee for the reviews and the great questions.
Juelle will be missed 😭. Has been in the lab since her first semester. Applying to grad school.
Job well done 💐 @jrtkstclair.bsky.social #ECSU. Defended her Undergrad Senior Honors Thesis 👏👏(+maintaining a great GPA + graduating 🎓 a semester early). Will be missed 😢. Agro 🧬✋️🧫 transformation of tobacco 🍃 with RUBYRED plasmid 🔴🪴 @atinygreencell.bsky.social. #ECSUVikingsScience
