plant genetics course
This course equips you with essential plant genetics knowledge for practical breeding programmes. Dive into Mendelian principles, heritability, molecular markers, and experimental design to breed heat- and drought-resilient crops. Boost yields, promote farmer uptake of new varieties, and advance climate-resilient farming in challenging environments.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills to set up small breeding trials, select ideal crops and germplasm, and develop crossing plans for crops that withstand heat and drought. Master Mendelian ratios, inheritance patterns, heritability estimates, ANOVA analysis, and selection indices. Link molecular markers with field observations to deliver practical advice for improving crop varieties and supporting farmers.
