SUMMARY:Agro Mediated Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. James Rauschendorfer\, Biotech Program 
 Coordinator at STLCC\n\nAs a researcher\, James Rauschendorfer specialized 
 in plant genetics and molecular biology. He earned his MS and PhD from 
 Michigan Technological University\, where his work focused on forest 
 genetics and biotechnology.\n\nHis research contributed to the development 
 of the full-length cDNA overexpression (FOX) hunting system for poplar 
 mutagenesis\, characterized the role of the Lonely Guy 1 (LOG1) gene in 
 secondary wood formation\, and examined how speciation shapes gene 
 expression in oak species.\n\nHe later completed postdoctoral research in 
 cassava tissue culture and genetic transformation\, developing expertise in 
 plant biotechnology techniques.\n\nHe currently serves as Program 
 Coordinator for Biotechnology at St. Louis Community College\, where he 
 focuses on workforce development\, applied biotechnology education\, and 
 building partnerships between academic programs and the regional bioscience 
 industry.\n\nIn this lecture\, he will explain how Agrobacterium 
 tumefaciens is used as a tool to genetically modify plants for research and 
 agricultural applications.
