General description	Plant Biotechnology consists in the manipulation of plants for practical uses such as the improvement of crops (higher quality of their products, higher yields), the increase in the production of valuable molecules and the production of novel molecules. In this course we will explore the plant tissue culture and plant regeneration (cell cultures, meristem culture, somatic embryogenesis, organogénesis…), the techniques for plant transformation and their aplications, and the new molecular strategies useful in molecular farming.

C1	CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study
C2	CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
C3	CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
C4	CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience
