  2. HISTORY OF HORTICULTURAL EDUCATION The history of the University begins in 1853, when Dr. Ferenc ENTZ, a medical doctor, established the School for Practical Gardening. The school came to its present location in 1876. In 1894, it was raised to the rank of Royal School of Horticulture, with three years of training. Faculty of Horticultural Sciences

  23. International relations: • CEEPUS (Central European Cooperation): 11 partners • Socrates Erasmus – more than 30 partner universities • Former Leonardo Practical Programs: 6–8 partners • Erasmus Mundus: in preparation Student and stuff mobility is growing. Language of study: courses in English and German preparation of full programs in English Faculty of Horticultural Science

  24. English courses Bases of environment oriented horticultural production Applied Entomology Biology, Active Compounds and Utilisation of Medicinal Plants Cultivation and Processing of Medicinal Plants Classical and Molecular Genetics Plant Breeding Recombinant DNA Techniques in Plant Systems Cultivation of Open-ground and Protected Ornamental Plants Ecological Farming Excerpts from Hungarian Horticulture Soil Science and Plant Nutrition MarketingPlant Ecology Plant Stress Physiology Plant Virology Pomology Principles and Practices of Tree Fruit Propagation and NurseryResources Viticulture Techniques in Fruit and Field Vegetable Production Faculty of Horticultural Science

  25. Resarch Potential of the Faculty • Analytical–chemical, biotechnological laboratories • Equipments for investigation of active materials of plants, hormones, enzimes, nucleic acids, climatological and edafic parameters, plant anatomy, etc. • Growth chambers (phytotrons) • Greenhouses and open field research areas • Genebank resources of horticultual species • Specialised staff Faculty of Horticultural Science

  26. Main research areas at the Faculty • screening and breeding of varietiesby traditional and molecular breeding technics • biochemical and genetical studies on plant stress reactions in vitro and in vivo (enzymes, defence molecules, resistant germplasm) • development and improvement of environment friendly horticultural technologies (integrated pest managment, ecological farming) • studies on biologically active compounds (antioxidants, essential oils, sacharids),distribution, production and optimalisation in plants) Faculty of Horticultural Science

  27. Some further research topics • Virus genetics and characterisation, plant-pathogen interactions • Introduction of indigenous wild plants (ornamentals, medicinal plants into agriculture • Optimal nutrition of horticultural crops • Studies of the consequences of global climatic changes (mathematical modelling, microclimate in plant stands, phenology of insects.) • Development of micropropagation technics • New analytical methods for the detection and quantification of active molecules in plants Faculty of Horticultural Science

  28. Experimental and Research Farm Faculty of Horticultural Science

  29. Experimental and Research Farm — Sectors • Ornamental plant growing and nursery • Medicinal plant growing • Fruit growing and nursery • Plant breeding • Field crops • Supplementary plant growing • Organic farming • Viticulture • Vegetable Growing Faculty of Horticultural Science

  30. Experimental and Research Farm — Sector of Ornamental plant growing and nursery 1 Since 1963 this sector is a main base of research and education on more than 30 hectars. It has a continuously widening range of conifer collection (550 taxa), broad leaved and shrub collection (530 taxa), perennial and peony collection (63 taxa), and there are propagation and growing experiments on 3 ha nursery. Main fundamental research areas: Morphology and phenology, rooting and grafting soldering, gene reservation and stress tolerance. Faculty of Horticultural Science
