On the 7^th of October 2022, three Masters Study Programs within the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University, namely the Masters Study Program in Agroecotechnology, Masters Study Program in Biotechnology and Masters Study Program in Dry Land Agriculture, held a guest lecture with the topic “BIOTECHNOLOGY APPROACH IN PLANT DEVELOPMENT”. This activity presented three speakers, namely: Prof. Masaru Ohme-Takagi (National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan), with the topic "How to manipulate plant traits using Biotechnology"; Prof Ming-Tsair Chan (Academia Sinica Agricultural Biotechnology Research Center, Taiwan) with the topic "Cell Manipulation for plant improvement through genetic transformation"; and Dr Dewi Sukma from the Bogor Agricultural Institute who discussed "Biotechnology approaches for marigold breeding'". This general lecture was attended by all postgraduate Unud students, both masters and doctoral students who have knowledge related to the topic of the guest lecture. In addition to master program students from the three study programs mentioned above, the guest lecture was also attended by students from the Agricultural Sciences Doctoral Program, Faculty of Agriculture Unud, student from Masters and Doctoral Program of  Biology, F.

This guest lecture activity is the first step for future research collaboration between the Faculty of Agriculture, Unud and the institutions where the guest lecturer are from. Hopefully,  in the future, master students from the three master programs mentioned above will be able to conduct research at the National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan and at the Academia Sinica Agricultural Biotechnology Research Center, Taiwan.
