Plant Biotechnology Course
Gain expertise in plant biotechnology with practical focus on Kenya's needs. Master engineering tomatoes for drought tolerance, early blight resistance, and flavour preservation using CRISPR, transgenics, RNAi, and marker-assisted selection. Design genetic constructs, execute tissue culture and transformations, validate edits through assays, conduct field trials, and comply with biosafety and regulatory standards for commercial deployment.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to modify tomato plants for better drought resistance, early blight protection, and sustained flavour. Explore key areas like plant physiology, defence mechanisms, and root development. Compare modern tools including CRISPR, transgenic methods, RNAi, and marker-assisted selection. Practice building genetic constructs, performing plant transformations and tissue culture, verifying genetic changes, organising field tests, and meeting biosafety plus regulatory demands for practical use in farming.
