FOURTH SEMESTER
Hard core-2 Plant Biotechnology and Plant Breeding Paper Code: BO4-552 80 Hours
Objectives : To study how genetic engineering involves the use of recombinant DNA technology for crop improvement. To acquire fundamental knowledge on the application of biotechnology tools and techniques for improvement of microbes and higher plants. To understand the utility of medicinal plants and their conservation.
Plant Biotechnology
