The Genetics and Plant Breeding Practical Lab bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, helping undergraduate students understand the basic principles of heredity, variation, and crop improvement through hands-on learning.
Students learn how traits are inherited from one generation to another, how to make controlled crosses between plants, and how to select superior genotypes for future breeding. Through various experiments, they study Mendelian ratios, chromosome behavior, germplasm evaluation, and hybridization techniques.
They also gain valuable experience in experimental design, data collection, and statistical analysis to interpret genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advance. The lab encourages scientific thinking, keen observation, and analytical skills, preparing students to work effectively in areas such as crop improvement, seed production, and genetic research.
