1 AGH 330. Fundamental Plant Biotechnology Credit Unit : 3(2-1)(2 lecture-hours: 2x 50 minutes; 1x Lab. practice: 3x 50 mnts) Semester : 5 Prerequisite : - Lecturer : Dr. Ni Made Armini Wiendi, MS (Course Coordinator) Dr. Agus Purwito, MSc Agr Prof. Dr. Bambang S Purwoko, MSc Prof Dr Sudarsono, MSc Dr. Darda Effendi, MS Dr. Awang M., MS Dr. Sintho W.A, MS Number of students : students in one class (4 parallel classes) 5-20 students in international class The important of course Fundamental Plant Biotechnology course learn about basic biotechnology in plant to support agriculture. Students in Department of Agronomy and Horticulture or in other Department in Bogor Agricultural University need to know about the simple technic in plant biotechnology for in vitro plant propagation, in vitro plant breeding, in vitro secondary metabolites production, and in vitro plant preservation. In this course will discuss about biotechnology concept and technique in tropical crops as a model. Fundamental biotechnology remain, as always, production of goods and services that are needed and can be provided with safety and reasonable Course descriptions This course gives students about the concept of fundamental plant biotechnology and to provide examples of how these principles are put into operation, in in vitro plant propagation technique for plant production seedlings, in vitro breeeding for incresing genetic diversity and selection to become a new variety, and some athers technique in biotechnology.

2 General Learning Outcome After completing this subject, the student are able to explain the concept and give an example of plant biotechnology and have skill in biotechnology technique. Additionally, they are able to choose a sspecific technique in biotechnology to be applied for crops, plantation and horticultural plants. Specific Learning Outcome After completing this course, the students will be able to explain about concept and technique of fundamental plant biotechnology, in vitro plant propagation via organogenesis and embryogenesis, gene expresstion and in vitro plant breeding, in vitro secondary metabolites production, and in vitro plant preservation Organization of course topics The main goal of this course is to provide students with good knowledge and skills on fundamental plant biotechnology. The lecture will be started on concept and scope of plant biotechnology, definitions and utilization in agriculture development, especially in tropical crops. For the next topic about tissue culture for plant propagation via organogenesis and embryogenesis, plant growth hormone, Students also learn about in vitro breeding via somaclonal variation, chromosome mutation, gene transformation, in vitro plant preservation and in vitro secondary metabolites production. Teaching Learning Strategy Course topics will be delivered through interactive lecture format. In the first 50 minutes the lecturer will explain about the topis, continued to discussion for 25 minutes. In the rest of time, lecturer will make a resume of the topics. As an effort to increase students understanding about the topics, the sudents are asked to read a related journal paper and make a short review. This review will be collected to the lecturer in the next lecture
