| This module deals with the structure of the plant genome including the nuclear genome, the inheritance of nuclear genes, the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes and the nature of plant transposable elements. Techniques used in modern plant biotechnology and how this technology is used to modify and improve economically important plant species will be studied. Topics covered include tissue culture, clonal propagation, genetic manipulation of plants, genetics engineering in higher plants and production of commercially useful compounds amongst others. The principles, technologies, methods and applications of biosensors and bioinstrumentation are introduced. |
