englisch

ECTS:

12 credits

Angebotshäufigkeit:

jedes WS

Dauer des Moduls:

1 Semester

Studienleistung:

Presentation (40 %) with discussion (10 %); compulsory attendance at laboratory training

Prüfungsleistung:

Written paper in the form of a laboratory report in groups (50 %)

Arbeitsaufwand:

224 h Präsenz + 96 h Eigenanteil + Prüfung = 320 h Workload

Fachkompetenzen:

After successfully completing the module, students are able to outline diagnostics, production, selection and verification of transgenic plants, transgenic model plants (Arabidopsis) and crops. They can illustrate their interaction with microbial pathogens, their gene regulation, protein regulation, protein purification and manipulation of nutrient uptake. Students are proficient in basic laboratory skills, i.e. PCR, gene cloning, isolation and verification of mutant lines and protein purification.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

Students enhance their organizational skills, self-reliance, time management and team work during exercises, while preparing and following up on lectures and while compiling their written protocols (laboratory report). They become more confident in laboratory work, while also linking their theoretical knowledge to practical experience in the laboratory. While writing the protocols, students improve their scientific articulateness and further improve their oral communication skills, presentation techniques and discourse capacities through presenting their work.
