PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THE GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD CROPS
(objectives)
THIS COURSE WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF PLANT TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES AND PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS WITHIN AGRICULTURE AND PRODUCTION OF NEW MOLECULES. THIS COURSE WILL ALSO GIVE EDUCATION ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS TRANSCRIPTOMICS, PROTEOMICS, METABOLOMICS, AND WILL DESCRIBE THEIR IMPORTANCE IN PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH. ANOTHER IMPORTANT AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO CONDUCT LABORATORY WORK AND RESEARCH IN THE SECTORS OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY AND FOOD INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS TO CRITICALLY ANALYZE THE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
