COURSE CODE: SMKHG4A31AN

ECTS CREDITS: 5 TEACHING HOURS PER WEEK:

3+2

TEACHER:

Dr. László VARGA [email protected]

SHORT COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course is based on cognition of classical and molecular genetics. It overviews the basic mapping concepts applied in animal gene mapping, genetic markers, QTL mapping approaches, physical mapping procedures and the results of the human- and different domestic animal genome- and sequencing projects. A technical revolution took place in the past 10 years, which revolutionized the genomics and consequently the animal gene mapping. The subject introduces into the theories of the second- and third-generation sequencing techniques, different SNP-chip technologies and association mapping approach, which is based on dense, whole-genome SNP maps. Finally it gives some important and interesting mapping examples in several domestic species.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

COURSE CODE: SMKNN4A11AN

ECTS CREDITS: 2 TEACHING HOURS PER WEEK:

2+0

TEACHER:

Dr. Zsolt CSINTALAN [email protected]

SHORT COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The subject of the course is to make the basis of the plant growth, development metabolism and responses to various environmental stresses known. Principal knowledge for agriculture and environmental protection is specially emphasized. Students get to know the principal physiological processes important in plant production, the mechanism of nutrient economy, and the internal and external factors playing role in the regulation of growth and development, furthermore the effects of stresses on physiological processes of plants. Information and knowledge gained in lectures and laboratory workshops are necessary for further studies in plant genetics, plant protection, plant production and biotechnology.

ECTS CREDITS: 4 TEACHING HOURS PER WEEK:

2+2

TEACHER:

Dr. István Péter NAGY [email protected]

SHORT COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The main goal of the subject is to familiarize the students with the organization and
