Functional genomics
A.A. 2025/2026
Obiettivi formativi
The aim of the course is to discuss the criteria and the methods to design or improve a biotechnological process exploiting plant cells or whole plants to produce biomass or substances of industrial or environmental relevance (e.g. biofuels, oils, detergents, vitamins, starch, sugars, biodegradable polymers). An 'on-site' visit to at least one company or research centre is envisaged to make the students aware about plant biotechnology outside the academic environment.
The course is ideally linked to those dealing with functional genomics and other "-omic" technologies, plant breeding, molecular enzymology, bioinformatics and data analysis.

Risultati apprendimento attesi
Upon completing this course, students will acquire substantial knowledge on metabolic fluxes, on strategies that can be used to modify yield and on the tools available in plant biotechnology to achieve the objectives.

Metodi didattici
Frontal lectures. At the end of the course, there will be an additional question time during which students can ask for extra explanations regarding all the topics that were discussed during the lessons.
Materiale di riferimento
Scientific papers and video's will be presented during lectures and all materials will be uploaded on the Ariel website, lecture attendance is strongly encouraged.
Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
Learning assessment will be through a written exam at the end of the course. The examination will consist of 6 open questions of which, students must answer 5. Each question contributes equally to the final score. The students will have 2 hours to answer the question.
