This online course will take place within the Erasmus Mundus Programme emPlant. The two systems (plant patent and plant breeders’ right) and implication for breeder rights will be studied. Breeder’s exemption and farmer privilege will be analysed. From practical examples, lecturers...

  Insight into molecular plant-nematode interactions can lead to innovative approaches to control these parasites. In this lecture, the nematode resistance genes, available for traditional breeding purposes, are discussed. In addition, novel approaches, such as defence elicitors, or genetic ...

During this online course, Henrik Hallingbäck explains  three main topics of the CMS/Hybrid breeding: Dominance and inbreeding depression Hybrid vigour - Heterosis - Hybrid cultivars Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and its molecular basis To access the online course click...

New biotechnologies are going to impact the creation of new varieties, but also probably these new technologies are going to modify the registration and certification process of a new variety in a near future.

  Plant meristems are composed of three layers that divide independent and develop into different plant parts. Indeed a plant can be described as a "hand-in-two-gloves". When one of the meristem layers is struck by a mutation, a chimera originates: an organism composed of geneticall...

The use of resistant cultivars is a very important part of managing diseases caused by virus infection. Plants have different modes of defence against viruses, including RNA silencing, hypersensitive response and mutations of susceptibility genes. The resistance genes are used for breeding of culti...

A breeder focuses on variety performance, a good breeder also considers production issues; first because he has to multiply his own lines, but most of all because the best genetic may be dropped if it does not respond to production requirements. It is all a matter of chain, a team matter, let's ...

This course builds on the concepts presented in Intellectual Property. It provides a more in-depth view of the fundamentals of IP law and is considered as indispensable to pursue more advanced courses of study on specific areas of IP law.     Lecturer: Ben Rivoire, Senior Progr...
