plant genetics course
Gain expertise in plant genetics tailored for practical breeding programmes. Delve into Mendelian principles, heritability assessments, molecular markers, and experimental design to identify and propagate heat- and drought-resilient crop varieties. These skills enhance yields, promote farmer adoption of improved seeds, and advance climate-resilient farming practices in challenging environments.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to set up small breeding trials, select ideal crops and germplasm, and devise crossing plans for crops that withstand heat and drought. Master Mendelian ratios, inheritance patterns, heritability estimates, ANOVA analysis, and selection indices, while linking molecular markers with field observations to deliver actionable insights for variety development and uptake by farmers.
