Plant breeding is a historical discipline, which laid the foundations of modern agriculture. In the last decades, we have experienced a revolution in genome analyses methods that enable the dissection and quantification of the breeding traits at single gene up to the genome levels. These advances have changed the paradigm of breeding science and offered sophisticated methods to improve traits and selection at molecular level for the development of sustainable crop varieties. The primary aim of this module is to employ the innovations of genome analyses techniques in applied plant breeding for sustainable crop production.

Der Arbeitsaufwand für das Modul umfasst insgesamt 150 Stunden (siehe auch "ECTS-Leistungspunkte und Benotung").

• Portfolio-Prüfungsleistung oder
• mündliche Prüfung oder
• Klausur

• regelm??ige Teilnahme

Standard graded examination: Portfolio with written exam, 2 hours (max. 80 points) + presentation (max. 20 points)

An alternative examination may be selected by the examiner and announced at the beginning of the course.

Regular participation in the practical course (min. 80% of total hours) is required but ungraded.

Written exam - 2 hours

Presentation - approx. 20 minutes

Regular participation - minimum 80% of total hours

Basic knowledge of the subjects of genomics and crop production are helpful but not required.

Students understand the relationship between genome analysis and sustainable crop production and can identify important genome analysis techniques and their uses in applied plant breeding. They can describe measures for genomic innovations that lead to an increase in specific facets of sustainability in crop production.

Students can argue, according to the specific situation, which genomic measures are suitable for achieving specific sustainable crop production goals.

Students can formulate problem and hypotheses in applied plant breeding for sustainable crop production. They can employ innovative genome analyses techniques to test and evaluate their hypotheses.

Students develop an understanding of how innovative genome analyses techniques can promote sustainable crop production and reflect on experimental findings.

Students are able to identify and formulate a research question; they identify suitable genome analysis methods and generate data to evaluate the question; they plan and structure an experiment; they are able to collect and evaluate relevant data.

Students can present innovative concepts for genome analyses techniques in applied plant breeding for sustainable crop production on a scientific basis and discuss them with experts.

Students evaluate and deliberate deduced recommendations genome analyses techniques in applied plant breeding for sustainable crop production.
