Course Goal

The aim of this course is to teach the genomic, molecular and serological information about plant virus disease factors in detail. This course aims to teach short way and very sensitive methods for virus detection in infected crops.

Course Content

Genetic Variation and Evolution in Viruses, Genome Organizations of RNA and DNA Viruses, Molecular Mechanism of Virus Movement in Plant, Gene Expressions in Positive Sleeve RNA Viruses, Molecular Foundations of Transport of Viruses by Vectors, Molecular Mechanism of Symptom Development, Detection and identification of Viruses, Control of Visuses, Gene Correlation against Gene, Gene Silencing, Viruses Molecular Biology of Transgenic Plants with Resilience.

Course Precondition

No pre requirement
