PLNT 1213 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Plant Breeding, Plant Genetics, Heterosis
Document Summary
} understand the goals of plant breeding programs. } describe how transgenic crops are developed relative to conventional breeding processes. } understand benefits and limitations of transgenic crops. } developing plants with traits that increase quality and quantity of food production in a given environment. } _________________________________________ art and science of genetic plant improvemement. Plant genetics study of heritability of traits in plants. } dna made up of 4 protein bases (a,t,g,c) } all of the _________________ within an organism genetic info. } result of interaction between genotype and environment. Plant breeding process: _____________________ identify the objective. Lecture 14 crop improvement collect genetic information/variation: ____________________, _____________________ make new combinations, _____________________ select desirable combinations, _____________________ evaluate selections, identify the objective. } ________________ improved quality: collect genetic variation. } _______________ induced mutations: make and select new combinations. } collect all genes that contribute to a trait. Pure line is a plant that has been bred by self-pollination of a singular plant.
