Application of the principles of Mendelian, population and quantitative genetics to plant evolution and improvement, and conservation of genetic resources. The role of genetic mechanisms in the micro-evolutionary process and their relevance to natural and directed plant evolution and conservation of plant genetic resources is examined. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): BIOL 226
