Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1) Deeply understand the laws of inheritance, the Cytogenetics and the
Εvolution of Crop plants.
2) Plan and apply methods for genome analysis, caryotyping and gene mapping.
3) Understand deeply the Cell cycle and the role of Mitosis and Meiosis in
plant development, reproduction and diversity
4) Learn the type of mutations and their role in genetic variation and use
of articifial Mutation methods for the development of useful genetic
variability
5) Know and apply all the approaches and techniques for ploidy determination,
haploid production and hybridization for transfer useful genes from a wild
relative to a cultivated variety.
6) Be Familiar with the new technologies of Molecular Plant Cytogenetics
