Unit III:
Breeding achievements: Breeding objectives, ideotype breeding,
breeding problems and achievements in Plantation crops.
Block 2:
Spice crops
Unit I:
Genetic resources: Evolutionary mechanisms, adaptation and
domestication, genetic resources, genetic divergence, cytogenetics,
variations and natural selection, types of pollination and fertilization
mechanisms, sterility and incompatibility systems in Spice crops.
Unit II:
Breeding methods: Introduction and selection, chimeras, clonal
selections, intergeneric, interspecific and intervarietal hybridization,
heterosis breeding, mutation and polyploidy breeding, resistance
breeding to biotic and abiotic stresses, breeding for improving quality,
genetics of important traits and their inheritance pattern, molecular
and transgenic approaches and other biotechnological tools in crop
improvement.
