Tracking Phytophthora infestans, the Irish Potato Famine Pathogen Kit

Tracking Phytophthora infestans, the Irish Potato Famine Pathogen Kit

A great way to integrate history and modern science. Students isolate DNA and perform PCR to determine if the organism infecting a potato leaf is Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine and that is a reemerging problem for crops today. This link to history as well as modern agriculture provides an ideal hook to catch students' interest. They learn important biotechnology techniques and concepts and how to apply these concepts to society. Kits include enough materials for 24 students working in 6 groups of 4.
Note: Kits contain perishable materials and are shipped next day delivery on gel cold packs. Needed but not included: Thermal Cycler and Electrophoresis Equipment, Micropipettors, 1.5-mL Microcentrifuge Tubes.
