Explore two modern plant science branches with Swayam’s Plant Biochemistry and Plant Biotechnology training programme in 12 weeks. It is an online course.
The Plant Biochemistry and Plant Biotechnology programme by Manipur University will take you through the fundamentals of plant biochemistry and biotechnology. It will get into the study of biochemical processes, which includes photosynthesis, nitrogen cycle, secondary metabolism, respiration, and growth hormones. The course content is delivered by Dr K Sanatombi of the University of Manipur’s Department of Biotechnology.
The Plant Biochemistry and Plant Biotechnology certification course elucidates the requirements of plant growth. You will learn about genetic engineering and plant tissue culture. The training curriculum elucidates various aspects and applications of plant tissue culture. It also takes into account gene transfer methods for transformation of plants. The application of a transgenic plant is also a topic that this training will cover.
By the end of the Plant Biochemistry and Plant Biotechnology training programme by Swayam, you will learn about molecular markers and crop improvement applications, and covering topics in both Plant Biochemistry and Plant Biotechnology. You can receive a course certificate by completing the internal assessments and securing the minimum qualifying criteria for the end-term exam.
