Goals | The aims of this course are to teach genetic principals and methods of plant breeding, to give knowledge and skills for crop improvement. |
Course Content | Genetic resources and to promote the importance of adaptability to different genetic resources for selection will be applied to achieve higher efficiency and quality of new genotypes, hybridization, hybrid varieties breeding. |
Learning Outcomes |
- explain the importance of field crop breeding to increase yield, the evolution of crop plants, origins of crop plants, flowering and pollination biology crop plants - elucidate new cultivars for special environments - elucidate basic genetic principal of crop plants, and hybridization techniques of crop plants - explain genetic diversity after crossing, breeding objectives of crop plants, developing resistance crops to biotic and abiotic stress |
