| Syllabus: | This unit covers contemporary concepts and practices underlying crop improvement and plant breeding. The emphasis is on crop species of importance to Australia in general and WA grain cropping in particular. This unit will introdce students to QTL mapping and will focus on a genetic traits of current importance such as disease resistance, abiotic stresses, phenology and yield. It will cover in breeding and outcrossing species and both open-pollinated and hybrid systems. The unit will discuss the interplay of conventional (phenotypic) breeding with DNA based breeding systems. The biotechnology section will cover genome sequencing and gene cloning, gene transfer methods and regulatory issues |
