| PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THE GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD CROPS
(objectives)
THE PREVALING TRAINING OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS THE IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF GENETIC TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES OF PLANTS AND POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS OF VEGETABLE BIOTECHNOLOGIES IN AGRICULTURE AND IN THE PRODUCTION OF NEW MOLECULES. THE COURSE WILL GIVE INFORMATION ALSO ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS TRANSCRITTOMICA, PROTEOMICA, METABOLOMICA, AND DISCUSS THEIR IMPORTANCE IN VEGETABLE BIOTECHNOLOGIES. ANOTHER IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO LABORATORY AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELDS OF VEGETABLE BIOTECHNOLOGIES AND THE FOOD INDUSTRY, AS ALSO TO THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION.

(syllabus)
THREE ARE THE MAIN ARGUMENTS OF THE COURSE: GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES; APPLICATIONS OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY; ANALYSIS OF RISKS AND BENEFITS OF PLANT GENETIC MANIPULATION.
IN DETAIL, DURING THE COURSE THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENTS ARE DISCUSSED:
TECHNIQUES FOR GENE TRANSFER INTO THE NUCLEAR AND CHLOROPLASTIC GENOME; TECHNIQUES FOR IN VITRO CULTURE OF PLANT CELLS; USE OF SELECTABLE GENE MARKERS AND REPORTER GENES; STRATEGIES TO REMOVE SELECTABLE GENE MARKERS FROM TRANSGENIC PLANTS; INDUCIBLE EXPRESSION OF TRANSGENES IN PLANTS; TRANSIENT EXPRESSION OF GENES IN PLANTS; GENE SILENCING IN PLANTS; ‘GENE TARGETING’ IN PLANTS; GENOME EDITINGIN IN PLANTS; PLANTS WITH IMPROVED NUTRITIONAL VALUE; PRODUCTION OF ANTIBODIES AND VACCINES IN TRANSGENIC PLANTS; BIOTECHNOLOGICAL STRATEGIES TO OBTAIN PLANTS RESISTANT TO HERBICIDES, PATHOGENS AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSES; PLANTS WITH INCREASED PHOTOSYNTHETIC RATE; BIOSAFETY AND BIOETHICAL ISSUES RELATED TO PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY; EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY.
