PR10. Be able to conduct experimental research to determine the influence of physicochemical and biological factors of the external environment on the vital activity of cells of living organisms. PR20. Be able to calculate the main criteria for assessing the efficiency of the biotechnological process (growth parameters of biological agents, synthesis rate of the target product, synthesis ability of biological agents, economic coefficient, yield of the target product from the substrate, productivity, cost of the nutrient medium, etc.). PR26. Be able to use modern knowledge of the achievements of biological, environmental sciences, etc. to implement them in biotechnological production

Full-time form

1. Successful completion of the courses "Cell Biology", "Bioorganic Chemistry", "Plant Anatomy and Physiology", "Genetic Foundations of Biotechnological Processes", "Fundamentals of Biotechnology". 2. Be able to independently apply knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology and other disciplines, perform laboratory and practical work, work with scientific and methodological literature. 3. Possess basic skills in working with materials and equipment used in biological and biotechnological laboratories.

The course combines the study of the application of biochemical, genetic and microbiological technologies in order to create or optimize existing plant species/varieties, and their further effective use. The course examines the features of nutrition and conditions for cultivating isolated cells, tissues and plant organs in vitro, microclonal plant propagation, cell selection, parasexual hybridization, methods of genetic engineering, cryopreservation of plant material in in vitro culture. The issue of production of secondary metabolites is considered. The knowledge obtained can be used in biotechnological, pharmacological research, in solving urgent problems of health care and phytobiodiversity.
