Course Goal / Objective
The course targets to inform the students about growth and development of major oilseed crops like soybean, peanut, sunflower, rapeseed, flax and castor together with factors affecting these like humidity, temperature, day length, radiation, soil conditions and soil fertility. In addition to this, the major physiological processes like assimilation, respiration and nitrogen fixation and environmental factors affecting these processes will be dealt. Also, the environmental factors effective in occurrence of agronomic and botanical characteristics of these plants will be explained
Course Content
The course will cover the reproductive biology of oil crops (sunflower, soybean, groundnut, sesame, rape, safflower, etc), relationships between botanical properties and level of inheritance, breeding purposes and breeding methods applicable to these crops and their evaluations. Additionally, utilization and importance of biotechnology for breeding of these crops will be examined
