Overview
- Molecular biology approaches to identify key genes responsible for traits involved in crop improvement
- Potential biochemical and physiological indicators for successful breeding for crop improvement
- Selection strategies (through breeding, biotechnological approaches and marker assisted selection etc.) for selection of high yielding crops
- Nature of environmental adversaries that affect plant productivity from the viewpoint of three interrelated disciplines; eco-physiology, breeding, and socio-economics
