General description In this subject also participates teachers of the UVIGO: Pedro Pablo Gallego Vegas (email: pgallego@uvigo.es) Striking Mercedes Medina (email: medina@uvigo.es) Maria Esther Barreal Modroño (email: edesther@uvigo.es) This course covers the history and basic concepts of plant biotechnology: in vitro culture of cells, tissues and organs of plant, crop types and their applications and genetic engineering. The course includes a comprehensive wiew of the transformation plant genetics (concepts, processing methods and the use of genetically modified plants), the manipulation of plants and plant improvement. The students analyze in depth the impact of biotechnology and Genetically modified organisms on the society, reviewing aspects such as patents, regulations, ethical risks.
