Dalyko anotacija lietuvių kalba

Kurso metu nagrinėjamas augalų biotechnologijos svarba žmogui ir gamtos išsaugojimui. Aiškinami morfogenezės in vitro keliai, sėkmingo mikrodauginimo sąlygos, augalų antrinių metabolitų gavimo bioreaktoriuose pasiekimai ir problemos, galimybės ir būdai keisti reakcijos į stresą genų raišką. Nagrinėjama molekulinių žymenų reikšmė identifikuojant genus ir kartografuojant genomus. Išklausę kursą magistrantai sugebės kurti, tobulinti ir taikyti augalų biotechnologijos metodus.

Dalyko anotacija užsienio kalba

Importance of plant biotechnology to human health and nature preservation analyze during the course. Morphogenesis routes in vitro, achievements and problems of micropropagation, production of secondary metabolites in bioreactors, expression of genes related to stress are explained. Use of molecular markers for gene identification and gene mapping of different crops are discussed. After finishing the course students will be able to develop, optimize and apply methods of plant biotechnology.
