Conservation biology is a multidisciplinary science that has been developed to deal with this crisis. Conservation biology is not just about maintaining viable populations of all species. Conservation is also about moral philosophy, social justice, economics and politics. The course will be divided into a number of sections to reflect this multidisciplinary approach, namely the origins of conservation biology; biological diversity and its importance; threats to biological diversity; protection, restoration and management of populations, species, habitats and ecosystems; and economics and sustainable development.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>STAB6143 Economic Botany and Ethnobotany<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The course will focus and discuss the plant botanical aspects that have economic and ethnobotanical importance to man including their role in culture and civilization of man. It also covers some plant commodity groups such as food crops (rice and other carbohydrate sources), medicinal plants and plants in rural and urban landscape. A brief history on the use of plants among the people of Southeast Asia will be outlined from the aspects of biology, environment, socio-economy, culture and their roles in modern utilization such as plantation crops and agro-biotechnology.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>STAB6903 Diversity of Plant Genetic Resources<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The course covers various topics on plant diversity, with emphasis on different plant species that are used for food and agriculture, and for other uses such as animal feed, fibers, industrial biomaterials and medicine. Diversity between and within plant species for major, minor and underutilized crops will be discussed. Important aspects include general principles of diversity and evolution, origins of agriculture and domestication, centre of origin and diversity, history of distribution, gene pools, breeding systems, cytogenetically variation, introgression, genetic vulnerability and erosion, interdependence between countries, value of plant diversity, land races and their wild and weedy progenitors, and their use in breeding modern varieties. Examples include plantation crops, cereals, oil crops, fruit trees, root and tuber crops, grain legumes, vegetables, beverages, spices, medicinal and aromatic plants. The course also covers the history of plant germplasm collecting, legal issues in plant germplasm collecting and conservation. Includes field visits.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>STAB6914 Plant Breeding<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The course covers both crop improvement and tree breeding. Topics on crop improvement include genetic principles in breeding and improvement of crop plants, plant genetic resources, breeding systems, host-pathogen interactions, genetics of resistance and pathogenicity, monogenic and polygenic inheritance, heritabilities, heterosis, ideotypes, hybridization and selection, mass selection, pedigree selection, backcrossing, inbreeding, hybrid varieties, resistance against pests and diseases, genotype x environment interactions, and applied cytogenetics, physiological breeding, gene manipulation and genetic engineering in relation to their use in plant breeding. Topics on tree breeding include genetic principles in breeding and improvement of forest species in relation to production forestry, tree improvement strategies, selection methods, seed production area, seed orchards, genetic testing programmes, reproductive biology and advances in propagation technology, hybrids in tree improvement, wood and tree improvement, advanced generation selection, gains and economics of tree improvement, and applications of biotechnology in tree improvement. The course also covers population and quantitative genetics which are closely related to plant breeding. Includes field visits.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>STAB6924 Advanced Plant Biotechnology<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The course gives an introduction and overview of important biotechnologies and explores the ways in which new biotechnologies can contribute and be applied to crop improvement or tree breeding programmes. The biotechnologies include genomics and bioinformatics, mapping plant genomes with molecular markers, transformation systems, analysis of transgenic plants and application of plant genetic manipulation. Practical classes given are primarily associated with the current genomic tools and genetic manipulation techniques used in crop and tree improvement. Includes visits to biotechnology laboratories.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1673\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Entry Requirement<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1673\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1673\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><ul><li>Bachelor\u2019s Degree in relevant field with minimum CGPA 2.50 or equivalent, from any institutions of higher learning\u00a0 recognized by the UKM Senate;\u00a0<strong>or<\/strong><\/li><li>Bachelor\u2019s Degree in relevant field with minimum CGPA 2.00 \u2013 2.49 or equivalent, with minimum of 5 years working experience or research project in relevant field.
