10th Hands-on Training-cum-Workshop on "Breeding Enablement Technologies"
December 13-17, 2010
Barwale Foundation Barwale Chambers, Street No.1 0,
Himayathnagar,
Hyderabad 500 029, A.P., India.
Advancement decisions in any breeding program are the pivotal nodes. To take these decisions, a breeder needs several inputs as well as appropriate analyses and interpretation of the data gathered on phenotypes on one hand and an accurate genotypic grid on the other. The gamut of technologies that aid the breeder in this process are collectively referred to as Breeding Enablement Technologies (BET).
Marker Aided Breeding (MAB) is a classic example of BET supported strongly by the OMICs platforms, such as Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics and Phenomics. Breeding Informatics provides breeders with tools to obtain reliable association between phenotypes and genotypes, thereby enabling more accurate advancement decisions. In vitro techniques such as doubled haploidy which enable the breeder to cut down the generation cycles, the micro- propagation that enhances the multiplication rate are valuable tools too. Transcending the technologies that handle existing variability the ability to generate and monitor transgenic plants via transgenosis has extended the breeders repertoire still further.
Realizing the importance of phenotyping in establishing the accuracy of marker trait associations, the Barwale Foundation is conducting its 10th Training-cum-Workshop with primary focus on Breeding Enablement Technologies. The participants will gain hands on experience in different relevant techniques. Moving away from long lectures and demonstrations these will be mostly interactive sessions. This workshop will serve as a platform and help all participants to come up with novel ideas through interactions and networking.
