| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||||
| Basic science: Comprehension of integrated approaches using genetics, physiology, biochemistry and bioinformatics to relate plant phenotype with genotype as platforms for molecular models of plant metabolism. Integration of basic plant knowledge to understand complex plant model systems. Applied science: Knowledge of application of molecular tools for plant improvement through molecular breeding for agricultural plant production, biomedicine and plants as green factories. Knowledge of basic laboratory technicques within plant genomics and molecular breeding. Ethics and values: Is aware of the ethics of exploitation of new molecular approaches in plant biotechnology. | |||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||
| Provide a basic knowledge about the structure of plant genomes and experience with major techniques used within basic science and molecular breeding. Focus is on closing the gap between phenotypic traits and the increasing information on plant genomes and RNA/DNA/protein sequences. The course initiates from genomics of the two model species rice and Arabidopsis and transfers the principles to cultivated crops to understand the potential of exploitations of the technology. | |||||||||||||||
