IAEA/AFRA Training Course on Ad-vanced Molecular Marker Technologies and Data Analysis Applied to Crop Im-provement, including Mutation Breeding,RAF/5/056, Pretoria, South Africa, tenta-tively planned for 27 June—1 July 2011

摘要

This training course will be organized under the Regional TC Project RAF/5/056 on Increasing Production of Nutritious Food through Mutation Breeding and Biotechnology (AFRA 111-3). Following the steady and thorough implementation of the regional TC project, the training course is scheduled in order to enhance the results already obtained through mutation breeding in the specific projects of all participating countries. Classical breeding approaches associated with agronomy and biotechnologies has allowed less than 2% of the population of industrialized countries to produce ample food to satisfy their national needs.
