Màster en Genètica, Genòmica i Millora Vegetal (CIHEAM Zaragoza)

La millora vegetal té un paper fonamental en l'augment del rendiment i la qualitat dels cultius, desenvolupant varietats adaptades a diferents condicions ambientals, amb millor aprofitament d'insums i integrades en sistemes agraris viables ambientalment i socioeconòmicament. Aquesta disciplina ha evolucionat fins a convertir-se en una ciència complexa, que integra als mètodes clàssics noves eines genètiques, genòmiques, moleculars, cel·lulars i informàtiques. Per això, cal formar joves professionals perquè puguin superar els futurs reptes de l'agricultura.

Master’s Degree in Plant Breeding (to be cancelled)

This Master’s is designed to train professionals in the area of plant breeding, enabling them to develop new varieties that are adapted to different environmental conditions, making a better use of inputs and integrating them in environmentally and economically viable agricultural systems. This Master’s benefits from tools of molecular biology, cell biology, genomics, biotechnology and bioinformatics in order to improve classical breeding programmes.

The specialization profile of this degree enables students to undertake technical responsibilities in this domain as well as to perform high-level scientific research. The working scope of this Master's graduates focuses on plant and seed companies, plant biotechnology enterprises, public agencies for seed quality control and variety certification, research and education.

Master's Degree in Integrated Pest Management

Crop yield heavily depends, both in quantity and in quality, on arthropod pest, disease and weed incidence. Many references report losses of potential yield from 25 to 50 %. To decrease these losses, using economically feasible, technically efficient, ecologically sound and socially acceptable methods, is the aim of Integrated Pest Management. Agriculture needs, then, crop protection specialists with the necessary technical and theoretical skills for employment within the modern crop protection industry, or within academia.

Pesticides are still the main tool used in Crop Protection, even in the most developed countries. It is well know that the indiscriminate use of pesticides is, jointly with fertilizers, the most important source of chemical pollution in agriculture. As a consequence, the decrease and rationalization of their use, and the development of other control methods are among the main objectives of the national and international research funding agencies
