Modulo di Innovazione tecnologica

Knowledge and understanding: the courseaim to provide the student with the basicprinciples of biotechnologiesapplicable to molecular marker development and use in marker assistedselection and plant breeding in general.
Applied knowledge and understanding: basicbiotechnologicalmethodologies are introduced with reference to molecular marker.
Making judgements: the advantages and disadvantages of eachpresentedtechnology are illustrated, to develop the student'scriticalsense.
Communication skills: students are askedquestionsduring the classes, both to keeptheirattention and to teachthem to askquestions and giveadequateanswers.
Learning skills: the theoreticalbases of the differentgeneticbiotechnologiespresented are provided and, for some of them, also the practicalbases, throughlaboratory and in silicoexercises.


Modulo di Colture in vitro dei tessuti vegetali

Knowledge and understanding:Students will gain an in-depthunderstanding of the organization of an in vitro culture lab, necessaryequipment, the fundamentals of sexual and asexualmultiplication, and key concepts of micropropagation, includingrelevantlegislation.
Applying knowledge and understanding:Studentswillapplymicropropagation techniques, culture on agar and liquid media, temporary immersion systems, and bioreactors for ex situ conservation and multiplication of temperate fruitspecies. Additionally, theywillimplementrooting and acclimatizationprocedures for micropropagatedmaterial
Making judgements:Studentswilldevelop the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of variousmicropropagation techniques and to identify and solve specificissuesrelated to in vitro culture.
Communication skills:Studentswillenhancetheircommunication skills by clearlypresenting the results of theirlaboratory activities.
