Fachkompetenzen:

After successfully completing the module, students know the extent and the causes of plant biodiversity and understand the interaction of evolutionary processes on the structure of natural populations. They know the most important methods for the analysis of genetic variation. They can illustrate how genetic resources are collected, evaluated and conserved. Furthermore, they are proficient in the most important methods for the utilization of genetic resources in plant breeding. They can specidy the advantages and disadvantages of in situ and ex situ conservation. Students can describe the history the political importance and the institutions of the worldwide system for the conservation of plant genetic resources.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

Students enhance their organizational, communication and cooperation skills and practice working independently during preparation for the exam, while preparing and following up on lectures, during the exercises and while preparing their written paper. They learn and practice both critical and analytical thinking and reading of scientific literature, while generally improving their ability of exploring a scientific subject. While writing the papers, students improve their scientific articulateness.

Anmerkungen:

In the project report the students describe the state of genetic resources of a crop species and make a proposal for the utilization in practical breeding.
