Applied Plant Biotechnology

The course aims at giving theoretical and practical knowledge in plant tissue culture, especially shoot and root formation, genetic transformation and different molecular biological methods that are used for improvement of agricultural and horticultural crops. Case studies provide the students possibilities to solve various problems using the knowledge they have learnt from the course. After having gone through the course, the students should have better theoretical and practical knowledge in tissue culture and genetic transformation, and have better understanding in using different molecular biological methods and applications of biotechnology in plant breeding.

1. Analyze factors affecting micropropagation and perform tissue culture independently

analyse factors affecting micropropagation and perform tissue culture independently

2. Describe different genetic transformation methods and techniques used in molecular biology and genetic engineering

In the case study, use and describe briefly different transformation methods and techniques used in molecular biology and genetic engineering.

Besides these in grade 3, discuss advantages and disadvantages of important modern techniques used in genetic improvement of plant properties.

3. Independently design a research project (case study) using molecular and biotechnological approaches.

Independently design a research project (case study) using molecular and biotechnological approaches.

In the research plan of the case study, the research goals are clear, experimental designs are logical, methods are feasible and expected results are clearly stated.

In the research plan of the case study, the research goals are clear, experimental designs are logical, methods are feasible, expected results are clearly stated, and potential problems and possible solutions are stated and proposed.

The above criteria should be clearly shown in 1) written report of the case study and 2) oral presentations on the three seminars. The quality of presentations and questions arose to presenters by opponents as well as active participation in discussions during seminar will be taken into consideration when grading!

Course credits:

The course credits will be based on the results of seminar on literature study, performance and presentation of laboratory practices, seminar and written report of the case study. The final grading will consist different parts of the course according to the table below:
