Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
  • Semestral paper - 90 hours per semester
  • Preparation for classes - 50 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 50 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide an overview of special and molecular genetics of plants as essential theoretical basis for special plant breeding.
The student can independently navigate in the given issue and is able to use the acquired knowledge in their scientific activities or other practice.
Prerequisites
The student is familiar with the issues within the scope of university studies and is willing to study independently.
