Building on existing knowledge in plant science and molecular biology this course will explore recent developments in plant biotechnology. Focus will be concentrated on two main areas - plant tissue culture and gene transfer systems. Within these areas there will be an outline of basic methods and theory with emphasis on cell biology and molecular biology aspects. There will also be a consideration fo ethical and regulatory issues associated with the application of plant biotechnology.<br/><br/>Prerequisites or Co-requisites: 1006BPS Functional Molecular Genetics, AND 2006BPS Plant Science<br/><br/>Incompatible: 3036BBS Plant Biotechnology & Molecular Biology -- Course Website
