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.

Attendance
As stated in point 25 of the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2021/2022, attendance is not mandatory. However, professors may require students to attend lectures for a minimum of hours in order to be able to take the module exam, in which case the methods that will be used to check attendance will be explained at the beginning of the module.Please refer to the Crisis Unit's latest updates for the mode of teaching.
