The course is tailored to provide a comprehensive understanding of the area of plant genetics. Emphasis will be given to the areas of advanced Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics (quantitative genetics) together with their application in agriculture. Various types of mutations and their consequences as also the behavior of chromosomes in euploids and aneuploids will be discussed. The effect of transposition will also be discussed. Various types of plant breeding systems will also be discussed. Emphasis will also be given on the areas of evolution and chromosomal changes, gene mutation, linkage, and gene mapping as well as the application of recombinant DNA technology in plants. Answering evolutionary and plant population questions using numerous genetic/molecular approaches will be provided.
