Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||
Provide basic knowledge about technology and theory within genetics, physiology and genomics used to improve cultivated plants. Integrate the basic knowledge with understanding of mating control systems, selection systems and propagation methods to obtain improved cultivars of inbreeders, outbreeders and vegetatively propagated plant species. Provide understanding of importance of cultivar protection, legislation and patenting for plant improvement with traditional and molecular techniques. | |||||||||||||||
Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||
1) Genetic resources, mating systems, incompatibility, male sterility (øvl using computer or in greenhouse) 2) Mutations, polyploidy, haploids and in vitro cultures (øvl with in vitro cultures) 3) Molecular markers, population genetics and marker assisted selection (øvl f.eks. SSRs for population genetics and selection) 4) Quantitative traits, genetic variances, heritability, selection, QTL, genetics of disease resistance (øvl Measurements on plant populations, field trials and calculations, Case: map QTLs with mapping software 5) Cultivars of inbreeders, Lines and hybrids (øvl Crossing exercise with in and out breeders; Case: Search www for info on breeding of major crops) 6) Cultivars of outbreeders, populations, hybrids, species hybridisation and combining ability (øvl computer exercise with cross breeders and hybrids, case: search www for info on breeding of major crops 7) Plant cultivar protection, legislation, patenting and transgenic (Case: Patent databases and patents on crop plants) 8) Excursion to one or two breeding stations in Denmark or Sweden | |||||||||||||||
