Requirements of Basic genetics and Molecular Biology. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 10 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course student will be able to explain genetic and molecular aspects of the basic principles of Angiosperm, such as reproduction by apomixis, sex determination, incompatibility, male sterility, polyploidy, mutations, disease resistance, resistance to abiotic factors, plant biotechnology and transgenosis, molecular markers. Students understand fundamental genetic and molecular principles of basic plant processes.
- Syllabus
- 1. Evolution and organization of plant genomes. 2. Reproduction of plants and its genetic consequences. 3. Sex determination in plants. 4. Incompatibility systems in plants. 5. Genetic determination of male sterility. 6. Euploidy and aneuploidy, occurrence in wild and cultivated plants. 7. Induced mutations in plant research and determination of gene function. 8. Heterosis. 9. Genetics of disease resistance in plants. 10. Resistance to abiotic stresses. 11. Plant biotechnology. 12. Transgenosis in plants and its practical application (GMO). 13.
