The module is an introduction to plant biotechnology. The aim of this module is to teach students with specialized knowledge about the structure and the operation of genetic material, the methods of genetic manipulation, as well as the tissue culture, the cell culture and the molecular breeding. The students are expected to learn examples of agricultural biotechnology applications. On successful completion of this module the students will be able to: 1. Know the structure of nucleic acid and the operation of genetic material 2. Have knowledge about genetic manipulation 3. Describe the methodology of tissue culture and cell culture and their applications in plant breeding 4. Know the characteristics of molecular markers and their use in varieties’ identification. 5. Know the methods to isolate resistant varieties in viruses, insects, bacterium using genetic modification. 6. Know the methods to isolate resistant varieties in herbicides using genetic modification 7. Mention examples of plant biotechnology applications. |
