1) The importance of plant breding. Plant breeding history. 2) Genetic diversity and its importance. Centres of genetic diversity. Erosion of genetic diversity and its protection. Gene banks. 3) Basic terminology of plant breeding. Types of cultivar. 4) Breeding objectives. Production capability and its stability, end-use quality, length of the growing season, resistance to stress and adaptation to the cultivation technology. 5) Initial breeding material and enhancement of genetic variability using crossing, mutagenesis, polyploidisation and biotechnological processes. 6) Selection and genetic theory of selection. Individual, mass and clonal selection. 7) Crossing, selection of parental components, selection methods, breeding methods, distant hybridization, methods for overcoming crossing barriers. 8) Heterosis breeding, inter-variety and inter-line hybridization, convergent and recurrent breeding, male sterility, heterosis breeding in self-pollinated crops. 9) Mutation and polyploid breeding, induction and detection of mutations and polyploidy, somaclonal variation, examples. 10) Breeding nurseries.
