Course Description |
由於分子生物技術與基因體學快速的發展與應用,使得利用現代生物技術與傳統作物育種技術結合,改良植物及作物品種,並可廣泛應用於各種糧食作物之產量、品質改進、生質能源利用、中草藥栽培、觀賞植物開花之調節、人體健康及植物疫苗生產等。為一實用性質高之課程。
Due to the rapid development and application of molecular biotechnology and genomics, the combination of modern biotechnology and traditional crop breeding technology can improve plants and crop varieties, and can also be widely used in the yield, quality improvement of various food crops, utilization of biomass energy, cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine, regulation of flowering of ornamental plants, human health, and production of plant vaccines. It is a highly practical course. |
