Molecular marker technology for crop improvement
Organised by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and supported by the Indian Department of Biotechnology, this training course provides participants with expertise in the use of molecular markers, gene/QTL mapping and marker-assisted breeding, focusing on the experimental design and data analysis components of molecular markers. The course is open to Indian, as well as a few non-Indian, scientists and the deadline for applications is 31 March 2009.
