A243 Agri-science and Tissue Culture

This module provides an in-depth exploration of agricultural produce growth and development, integrated with plant tissue culture techniques.

Students begin by learning about plant cell organisation, tissue and organ interactions. Concepts such as plant reproduction, breeding techniques, and transgenic plant studies will be covered. Emphasising plant nutrition, the module covers essential nutrient requirements and the significance of soil and water. Advanced topics include genetic modification, focusing on plant tissue differentiation, regeneration, and transformation. This module combines theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory skills, particularly in aseptic culture techniques, essential for plant tissue culture labs. It also addresses the regulatory aspects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and intellectual property in plant biotechnology. Overall, this module strives to equip students with the skills to harness tissue culture as a tool for addressing challenges in modern agriculture and ensuring global food security.
