Genetic diversity (significance, protection); Conservation of plant germplasm, sources of plant material for the breeding; Role of plant breeding, its history and development in the world and in the Czech Republic; Biological and methodological principles of plant breeding (centers of origin of cultivated plant, sources of genetic diversity, influence of the way of plant propagation to the selection of breeding method); Fundamental principles, genetic structure of the cultivars, variability of cultivated plants, important features of cultivated plants; Conventional methods and techniques of plant breeding: selection (natural, controlled, individual, grouped, clone), crossing (techniques, lines, populations, plant heterozis, distant hybridization, pollen sterility, somatic hybridization); Utilization of haploids and polyploids in the plant breeding; Mutations in plant breeding (biological background, induction, detection of mutants); Genetic manipulations in plant breeding, transgenic plants, DNA fingerprinting. manipulation with genetically modified plants; Methods of plant breeding, quantitative and qualitative traits, heritability, selection indexes; Fundamentals of genomic technologies (principles, PCR, molecular hybridization, DNA cloning, order of bases in the cloned DNA, molecular markers, protein markers); Breeding aims (yield, quality, resistance to biotic and abiotic factors); Breeding technique (breeding nursery, documentation, data collection and processing), new-breeding, maintenance of cultivars; Organization of plant breeding and seed production, research, legislation. Breeding (aims and methods) for resistence to biotic and abiotic factors: examples for the most important groups of crops (cereals, legumes. oilseed crops, fibre and technical crops, tuber crops. sugar crops, forages, grasses, hops, vegetables, aromatic and medicinal plants, fruit trees, grape, ornamental plants, plants in forestry.
