• Sustainable production systems for food, feed and ornamentals
• Physiological processes in plants, affected by external factors (nutrients, temperature, light and daylength)
• How plant breeding are used to meet the marked
• Biology of insects, pathogens and weeds in agricultural systems.
• Principles for disease control, with particular focus on plant resistance and resistance breeding.
• Methods and strategies for protecting plants from pest organisms and reducing competition from weeds

2)Plant Biotechnology, focusing on:

• Theoretical and practical use of genetic and molecular methods
• Physiology processes in plants, and plant adapation to environment and climate
• Understanding of advanced gene regulation

Choice of electives provides the possibility for individual adjustments in the study programmes.
