Course description

One of the grand challenges facing the world is tailoring our plants and crops to meet the demands of the next and future generations, including ensuring ongoing food security and sustainable food production amid changing environments. This course will engage students in active learning about concepts in plant genetics, molecular biology and physiology to understand developmental processes at the core of plant form and function. Students will have hands-on experience using cutting-edge biotechnology methods and gain real-world practical skills required to engineer and adapt plants for our future needs. These skills underpin both fundamental plant science research and also modern plant breeding and agriculture.
