Learning outcomes

The objective of the course is to analyse the molecular strategies for crop improvement. Mainly the use of molecular markers, tools for gene expression analysis and transgene technology. The purpose is also to study plant evolution, sinteny and genome structure and function. Biodiversity and genetic resources useful for plant genetic improvement will also be analysed.

Program

Lectures
Molecular techniques applied to the study and improvement of crop species. Molecular genetics as a tool for increasing crop productivity. Green revolution, molecular analysis of green revolution' genes.Biodiversity and genetic resourses. Functional and comparative genomics. Plant genome size. Genome projects in plants. Genome evolution and sinteny. Colinearity among cereal genomes. Transposable elements. Forward genetics and reverse genetics. Insertional mutation in Arabidopsis. TILLING. Molecular markers, molecular marker analysis, MAS. Mapping QTL with molecular markers. Plant biotechnology for crop improvement. Engineer complex metabolic pathways. Transgenic plants for herbicide tolerance,for insect and virus tolerance and for drought tolerance. Cultivation and commercialization of transgenic crops.

Laboratory
