1. Purpose of the educational program- Training of highly qualified scientific and pedagogical personnel for work in the field of agricultural biotechnology in research and production institutions of biological and agricultural profile, in breeding centers.
Objectives of the educational program:
2. General characteristics of the educational program (relevance, characteristics, competitive advantages, uniqueness, stakeholders, etc.)
Plant biotechnology is a new field of science and production, based on the use of in vitro cultivated plant cells. Cultivated plant cells by preserving the ability to synthesize characteristic of this type of valuable secondary metabolites used to create cell technologies with the aim of obtaining industrially economically important substances. A unique feature of cultured cells in vitro to regenerate a whole plant totipotency - ability to use them for micropropagation of plants and for the production of improved viruses for planting. Upon receipt of regenerated plants based biotechnological methods for genetic improvement of plants, facilitating and accelerating the breeding process. Therefore, the new educational program "plant Biotechnology" opens up completely new possibilities of genetics and genetic engineering of plants, expanding the genetic basis and the creation of fundamentally new forms of plants.
Educational program "plant Biotechnology" was developed in accordance with The NQF and professional standards, in accordance with the Dublin descriptors and the European frame of qualifications on the basis of the State obligatory standard of higher education, approved by order of the Minister of education and science of Kazakhstan from October 31, 2018 (no. 604) and in accordance with the classifier of areas of education and training with higher and postgraduate education (Approved by order of MES RK №569от 13 Oct 2018
The peculiarity of the educational program:
The uniqueness of the program is development of various methods, techniques, schemes proceedings aimed at obtaining valuable substances on the basis of biological objects. Biotechnology is a synthesis of basic science and practices, so this program for the training of undergraduates in the field of "plant Biotechnology" is aimed at training specialists biologists biotechnologists, biotechnologists, breeders, capable of conducting fundamental biological research and implementation of obtained results into production.
The major stakeholders of EP are: agricultural enterprises, laboratories, processing, microbiological, industry, research institutes and centres, institutes of biology and biotechnology plant breeding station; laboratory for monitoring the quality and safety of agricultural products; environmental services and organizations.
3. Competence model (portrait) of the graduate
3.1 the Sphere of professional activity is the development of technologies cell and tissue cultures for micropropagation and improvement of plants, the experimental haploidy; the use of molecular and biochemical markers in plant breeding, genetic engineering of plants based on methods of cell and genetic engineering of plants, obtaining industrially valuable biologically active substances and biopreparations of vegetable and microbial origin, immunobiotechnology create diagnostic and preventive means of combating plant diseases.
Professional competence
to know and understand: graduated master's degree master of natural science need to know how the General principles of the implementation of biotechnological processes in various fields of national economy in relation to nature, and separate production associated with obtaining drugs for various purposes. To have a modern picture of the diversity of biological objects, schemas, biotechnology industries, genetic and cellular methods to improve the level of productivity of the producer, moderne trendsand developmentI scientific knowledge; actuale methodologicallye and philosophicallye problemss science; technological variety of biotechnology of target products (biomass, primary and secondary metabolites), the methods their separation and purification; the principles the main biotechnological equipment, classic and modern methods of selection of strains of microorganisms; the main achievements in the generation and use of strains-producers in different sectors of the economy research methods are of immune responses in plants; the main types of protective reactions of plants, methods and means identification of plant pathogens and principles of their application at carrying out phytosanitary monitoring of agrocenosis work with plant objects using the methods of immunology of plants. knowledge of the scientific and legal framework for Biosafety in biotechnology and use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
to be able to: use knowledge of basic Sciences in my scientific work to solve specific research, information retrieval tasks; to choose methods and techniques of research (biotechnology, diagnostic, bacteriological, virological, other research methods); Knowledge and methods molecular biology and genetics and genetic engineering of plants by scientific research to know the methods of electrophoresis and chromatography isolation and purification of DNA and RNAmethods molecular genetic studies.
