The course aims to provide students with specialized knowledge in order to understand the practical applications of authorities of genetics in the creation of new more yielded varieties of cultivated plants with high quality and friendlier to the environment, to apprehend the techniques of classic breeding which are used for creating new varieties, understand the applications of biotechnology in the plant breeding On successful completion of this module the students will be able to: 1. Know the breeding methods of self pollinated plants 2. Know the breeding methods of cross pollinated plants 3. Understand the role of the environment in plant breeding 4. Know about the role of mutants in plant breeding 5. Know about the role of poloploidism in plant breeding 6. Understand the importance of the resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses variety 7. Know about the role of biotechnology in plant breeding |
