Course content
|
The main attention is also paid to cytogenetic aspect of gametes differentiation and embryogenesis. Integral part of the course is an introduction to students with applications of biotechnologies in recent crop breeding. - Introduction, primary division of plant reproduction - Evolution of the plant reproduction - Development of reproduction organs and gametes - Development and differentiation of plant embryos, development of seeds and fruits - Cytological, epigenetic and genetic aspects of gametes production and embryogenesis - Biotechnology in the plant reproduction - Application of biotechnologies in crop breeding - Somatic embryogenesis, androgenesis, protoplasts differentiation - Cytogenetic aspects of biotechnological methods in plant reproduction - Somatic hybridization, allo- and pollyploids, genomic stress - Methods used in study of reproduction biology
