Course content
The academic discipline "Plant Genetics" is a component of the educational and professional training program for specialists at the "Bachelor" educational level. The discipline "Plant Genetics" is a basic biological discipline and covers the study of the structure, functions and mechanisms of implementation of genetic systems in plants. The study of the discipline demonstrates the general features and specific features of various genetic processes in plants at the level of molecules, cells and the whole organism. The practical significance of the studied plant systems is given and the possibilities of their management, their use in various branches of science and production are discussed.
