Core Learning Outcomes & Competencies
Upon mastery of this comprehensive syllabus, students and researchers are expected to:
✓
Formulate Murashige & Skoog (MS) media and explain the hormonal regulation of organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis using auxin:cytokinin ratios.
✓
Outline methods for protoplast isolation, PEG-mediated fusion, and selection of somatic hybrids and cybrids.
✓
Detail the molecular biology of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid, virulence (vir) gene induction, and T-DNA nuclear transfer.
✓
Compare physical (biolistic gene gun, electroporation) and biological gene delivery techniques in monocot and dicot systems.
✓
Explain the molecular mechanisms conferring insect resistance (Bt Cry endotoxins) and herbicide tolerance (glyphosate EPSPS inhibition).
✓
Trace biofortification metabolic pathways, including provitamin A synthesis in Golden Rice.
✓
Critique biosafety assessment, environmental impact tests, and international regulatory frameworks (Cartagena Protocol) for transgenic crops.
