To make students learn the latest trends in soil microbiology like diversity,B iological control and bioremediation.
To apprise the students about the role of microbiology in environment management for sustainable eco-system and human welfare.
To impart knowledge about physiological and molecular changes during senescence and ripening
To understand the intricacies of perishable supply chain and its
management. The course is organized as follows
The major goal is to expose the students of higher education program on functional genomic approaches, which is needed for crop improvement in a targeted way:
i) Identify genes regulating the specific mechanisms/traits
ii) Assess the relevance of physiological processes/mechanisms and options to combine / introgress them.
The course addresses the recent development in photosynthetic processes that can be exploited to improve yield potential. Besides, other major emphasis is to provide exposure on recent developments in regulating the sink characters ie., yield attributes at molecular level to achieve higher potential yields
