Fachkompetenzen:

After successfully completing the module, students are able to describe the basic principles and the theory of selection. They are capable of calculating the selection gain for 1-stage and multi-stage selection, as well as for 1-trait and multi-trait selection. They understand the principles of selection and its optimization. Students know how to select parents, and to evaluate the performance and stability of breeding materials. They can finally discuss how modern strategies of selection based on molecular markers can be combined with classical phenotypic selection.
