Master of Science in Genetics and Plant Breeding
A master's degree in genetics and plant breeding is a two-year postgraduate study in agriculture or can be said it's a study on Plant Pathology. It is open to people with a bachelor's degree in Agriculture, Biotechnology, or any other relevant area.
M.Sc Agriculture focuses on Genetics, and Plant Breeding is a relatively new and rapidly growing field of contemporary biology. The art and science of modifying plant features to create desirable qualities and, as a result, increase the quality of nutrition in human and animal products are covered in the curriculum. Aspirants will largely research technical techniques for improving varieties and genetic stocks, changing the genetic make-up of plants and developing novel breeding strategies to increase food, feed, and fibre production.
Biochemistry, Agronomy, horticulture, botany, genetics, forest and wildlife ecology, plant pathology, and statistics are all included in the programme. Plant breeding studies and applies genetics, agronomy, plant pathology statistics, entomology, and other related sciences to improve agricultural plants.
