Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the student with the knowledge and tools necessary for the application of the latest technologies for the assisted evolution of the vine.
Basic knowledge will be provided for the study of gene expression, its regulation and the biological role of grapevine genes. The tools necessary for the interpretation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of the plant and its responses to the environment will be illustrated. The student will attach the importance of knowledge of the genome, of the function of the genes contained on it and of the progress made in the biotechnology field during last years. The main stages of plant biotechnology will be illustrated, including in vitro cell cultures, the isolation of protoplasts, plant regeneration by somatic embryogenesis, genetic transformation and genome editing. Particular emphasis will be given to the possible applications of these new technologies for the development of a modern viticulture able to respond more quickly and effectively to the stresses to which the plant is subjected.
