Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to extend the basics of general genetics with special focus on plant genetics. By completing this course, the student will gain a theoretical basis for subjects in the field of breeding, biotechnology and plant genetic engineering.
The student will gain the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to optimize breeding procedures.
