Die Lehrveranstaltung ist zweiteilig aufgebaut:Im Molekularbiologischen Laborpraktikum (5 Kurstage, jeweils freitags, ab dem 26. Sept) erlernen die Studierenden grundlegende Techniken der Molekularbiologie.Im anschliessenden Methodentraining (5 Kurstage im Block) wenden sie zentrale Methoden des jeweiligen Fachgebiets praxisnah in einer der beteiligten Forschungsgruppen an.

This part of the course introduces the molecular principles of the central dogma, from DNA structure and replication to RNA transcription and protein translation. Students will explore molecular techniques to study DNA, RNA, and proteins, and apply this knowledge to case studies in food, agricultural, and environmental sciences, with a focus on gene regulation and biotechnological applications.

The general theme of this course is the effect of environmental factors (such as light, temperature, relative humidity, CO2 concentrations, etc.) on plant physiology: water uptake and transport, transpiration, CO2 gas exchange of plants (photosynthesis, respiration), growth and C allocation, yield and production, stress physiology. Working with measurement data and Jupyter Notebooks is included.

This course raises awareness of doctoral students to ethical issues that may arise during their doctorate. After an introduction to ethics and good scientific practice, students use resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. Students are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge and train their newly acquired skills in an interactive, discipline specific context.

This introductory Laboratory course introduces the student to the entire range of classical and modern molecular biosciences. In the second year (Praktikum GL Bio II) the students will perform three praktikum days in:- Bioinformatics- Plant Physiology- Genetics and- Cell Biology II.(total of 12 experiments)Each experiment takes one full day.

The course deals with(i) Structure and replication of DNA, transcription, RNA processing, translation, mutation and DNA repair, stability and variability of genomes, regulation of gene activities. (ii) Modern molecular methods by which these processes are examined. (iii) Practical applications in genetic engineering, plant breeding and food biotechnology.
