The UC Davis Seed Biotechnology Center and
UC Davis Extension are offering a two-day short course for
professionals in the seed industry.
Breeding with Molecular
Markers will focus on strategies for using molecular tools in
different breeding schemes and crops. Participants will learn
what technologies are currently available for different crops.
Leading industry and university experts will guide participants
on how, when and what types of molecular markers should be used
in breeding programs, including marker-assisted selection,
accelerated backcrossing, and quantitative trait loci. This
course is also an opportunity for breeders who are already using
these tools to expand their knowledge of new strategies and
technologies and for laboratory personnel to appreciate how the
marker data that they generate are applied in breeding
programs.
The course takes place in Davis on February 10 & 11,
2004.
