Restructured and Revised Syllabi of Post-graduate Programmes
Vol. 1

I. Course Title
: Molecular Genetics of Forest Trees
II. Course Code
: FBT 605
III. Credit Hours
: 2+1
IV. Aim of the course
To develop understanding among students about molecular markers, biochemical
markers, gene mapping, transgenics in forest trees.
V. Theory
Unit I
Biochemical markers (Isozymes and Monoterpenes). Molecular markers – Non-
PCR based (RFLP) and PCR based (RAPD, ISSR, SSR, AFLP, SNP, etc.). Application
in forestry – quantification of genetic diversity. Marker assisted selection. Genetic
maps of selected forest trees.
