BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR AGRICULTURAL CROPS
The course will deal with the basic principles and selected applications of biotechnology for agricultural crops, emphasizing the need for a different type of agriculture, in order to support the increasing needs for food (quantity and quality) while facing climate changes and increased abiotic and biotic stress conditions. The basic and applied aspects of the major biotechnological tools and solutions will be evaluated.
(Basic molecular topics are dealt with in a separate course).
