The course was divided into two sections. In section 1, structural and functional organization of plant genomes and various approaches to identify and mark genes will be highlighted. Learn about genetic and molecular mechanism of recombination, concepts and methodologies of various marker systems, mapping populations, distribution and types of genes. In section 2, cytoplasmic inheritance, gene silencing and epigenetic, genetic dissection of biochemical pathways, mitochondrial gene expression, virus gene expression, plant model system and their value, and modern genomic tools and system biology will be covered.
