Design on Molecular Biology Science Course for Master's Students in Tea Science

With widespread application of molecular biology in various disciplines, its basic theories and operational techniques have become one of essential methods in tea science research, such as tea germplasm resources research, tea plant protection, tea processing and functional ingredient health mechanism research in various fields．To enable master's students in tea science to systematically master molecular biology theories and methods, and proficiently apply molecular technology to specific scientific research experiments, taking master's program in tea science at College of Tea Science, Guizhou University as an example, targeted exploration of teaching content reform for current molecular biology course is aimed at addressing practical issues such as loose theoretical course structure, weak connection with tea industry applications, and insufficient proportion of experimental courses．In basic theoretical knowledge section, flexible teaching methods such as restructuring basic knowledge structure, setting theme teaching, and group self-directed learning were used to attract students' interest in learning, gradually consolidating their theoretical foundation knowledge．Focusing on specific application of molecular biology in tea production, processing, and other aspects, design of experimental teaching content and practical projects was emphasized, and cultivation of students' knowledge application and innovation ability was emphasized．Teaching quality and effectiveness of this course were comprehensively improved through various curriculum reform measures, to promote high-quality development of tea master's training．
