Course Summary

Molecular Plant Breeding provides us deeper knowledge about the application of molecular biology tools in the field of plant biotechnology. It provides us the principles of plant breeding with methods such as self and cross-pollination and the limitation in the conventional methods so that it would help us to develop the molecular tools for the application in plant breeding. This provides us the knowledge for the construction of molecular maps and with these mapping tools to identify the molecular markers which could be used in plant breeding. With the application of marker-assisted selection (MAS), the selection of traits, their association, different breeding methods such as hybrid breeding, back cross and recurrent selection, gene pyramiding and also it could be used for selecting the germplasm.
