Plant Breeding and Genetics
Module-I Genetics:
Gene concept, allelism and fine structure of gene. Mendelism and deviation of mendelian ratios, epistasis, linkage and crossing over. Incomplete and complete linkage.
Practice: 1. Study of chromosome mapping with point test crosses data.
Practice 2: Karyotyping using photographs
Module-II Genome mapping:
Sex-linked inheritance, Nuclear and cytoplasmic genome organization, Maternal effect, genome imprinting, two point cross, three point test cross and chromosome mapping, tetrad analysis, extra chromosomal inheritance.Cytoplasmic male sterility.
Module-III
Chromosomal aberrations
Structural aberration: duplication, deficiency, inversion and translocations heterozygotes; numerical chromosome aberrations: aneuploids: trisomics and monosomics; euploids: autopolyploids, allopolyploids, role polyploidy in speciation with reference to triticum and brassica. Polyploids, haploids, aneuploids and their utility. Chromosome variation and evolution.
Practice:3. Induction of Polyploidy by Colchine.
Module-IV Population Genetics:
Populations, Gene pool, Gene frequency; Hardy-Weinberg Law; concepts and rate of change in gene frequency through natural selection, migration and random genetic drift .
Module V: Mutagenesis:
DNA damage and repair mechanisms, Spontaneous and induced mutations and their molecular mechanisms, physical and chemical mutagens, transposable elements and mechanism of transposition.
Module VI: Introduction to breeding:
Natural breeding systems in plants, genetic diversity in plant breeding; Conventional breeding methods for self, cross-pollinated and vegetative propagated crop plants.
Practice: 4. Demonstration of cross hybridization process in selected plant species.
Module VII: Tools in plant breeding:
Heterosis breeding; polyploidy and haploid breeding; Cytogenetic tools in plant breeding, Genetic crossing, Molecular markers-RAPD, ISSR, SSR, SNPs, Bulk-segregate analysis, Back-cross breeding. Marker Assisted selection – Foreground and background selection – MAS for major and minor genes – Marker assisted pyramiding.
Practice:5. To amplify the supplied DNA sample by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers.
Practice 6. To amplify the supplied DNA sample using SSR markers.
