In Vitro Plant Breeding
A.Y. 2026/2027
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide knowledge of the principles, protocols and utilization of plant tissue culture systems, for plant in vitro propagation, for plant breeding programs, for cell transformation techniques and production of secondary metabolites.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- in vitro propagate plant species (from the onset of an aseptic culture to its growth);
- describe the in vitro culture techniques;
- use in vitro techniques in support or as alternative to the traditional techniques for plant breeding programs.
