Purpose of storage and seed characteristics Factors that influence storing durability of seed and its control Predicting storing durability of seed in quantitative and qualitative E. Widajati

3 Technique of seed storage Control seed quality S. Ilyas 5. AGH330 FUNDAMENTALS OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 3(2-3) Prerequisite: - This course gives knowledge to students about definition and scope of plant biotechnology and its application in agricultural field. Topic of discussion includes definition of plant biotechnology, plant tissue culture, process of cell biology and tissue, growth regulator substances, somaclonal variation, protoplast culture, secondary metabolite production, synthetic seed production, gene transformation, preservation of germ plasma, application of biotechnology in food crops, horticulture and plantation. In practicum, students are expected to be able to get experiences of simple technique application in plant technology. N. M. Armini 6. AGH 240 Principles of Horticulture 3 (2-3) Prerequisites: AGH200 Semester : even sem This lecture discusses the basic terms and scope of horticulture, plant characteristics and cultivation of horticulture, horticultural development in the world and Indonesia including factors that influenced horticultural developments, balance and control of the growth phase, the production technology of horticultural (nursery, irrigation, fertigation, growing building, growth media, plant growth regulation, and pruning), aspect for garden intensification, the improvement of nutrition and living standard, hydroponic systems and organic production, aesthetics, quality and marketing of horticultural products. Technical aspects of horticulture in the form of intensive cultivation of horticultural crops will be deepened during practicum. To follow this course students should have competence basics of Agronomy. 7. AGH 331 Plant Propagation 3 (2-3) Prerequisite: AGH 200, AGH 240 R. Poerwanto This lecture discusses the general concept of plant propagation through vegetative and generative organs. Vegetatively covered both conventional breeding or by tissue culture techniques along with aspects of the underlying biology and physiology, objectives, applications, advantages, and disadvantages. Subject matter emphasized in the techniques of conventional vegetative propagation (cuttings, grafting), breeding with

4 special organs of plants, apomiktik and techniques of tissue culture (organogenesis, embryogenesis), the lab facility, aseptic techniques, tissue culture media and plant growth regulators, the factors that affect the organogenesis and embryogenesis, as well as the production of valuable plant material (disease free).
