Explanation:
In general clave means key as in key words, references, etc. but I have seen it used as preface as in preface to a book.

Main Subject


Explanation:
Probably one of the main 'units' or 'subject' in the syllabus.

See the website for Facultad de Agronomía de la Universidad de Bs. As., and you'll see there's no subject that meets the description, but there are some highlighted as important.

Hope it helps!
