61433	Lecture-Discussion	2	2:00PM -2:50PM	M	Animal Sciences Laboratory	Sacks, E	Part of Term: B Date Range: 10/21/13-12/11/13 Section Title: Crop Germplasm Resources Section Info: Students will explore the use, curation and collection of germplasm resources to facilitate crop improvement. Genetic diversity is the foundational resource that plant breeders use for the benefit of society; however, it is often challenging to identify, access and use desirable genes from relatives of crop plants. Strategies and methods employed by plant breeders, curators and collectors will be discussed. Topics will include using distant relatives in a breeding program, selecting a subset of accessions for evaluations when large collections are available, circumventing breeding barriers to obtain wide-cross progenies, navigating intellectual property issues and writing a successful plant exploration proposal. Prerequisites: Introductory courses in genetics (e.g. CPSC 352) and plant breeding (e.g. CPSC 453) or equivalent.
