| Course contents : | - Basis and organisation of plant genetic resources diversity
- The worldwide network of plant genetic resources
- The plant collections, the structure and activities of a gene bank
- In situ conservation methods
- Ex situ conservation steps

-analyse the influence of plant biology on genetic resources management
-criticize in situ and ex situ techniques for plant genetic resources conservation |
