Colorado State University Online will be offering 3 one-credit courses this
fall relating to Plant Genetic Resources Conservation and Use. CSU
enrollment is not required. Courses are targeted for the upper
undergraduate/graduate student level and can be taken sequentially or
independently. They are available to students, curation teams, technicians,
genebank managers, and more!

   1. COURSE I: ORIGINS. Aug 22 - Sept 23. Discover the origins of plant
   genetic resources, their domestication
   and diversification, and their vital role in global food systems.


   1. COURSE II: CONSERVATION. Sept 26 - Oct 28. Examine the role of
   genebanks in the global effort to conserve plant genetic resources. Explore
   each step from collection to storage, regeneration, and distribution


   1. COURSE III: DISCOVERY. Oct 31 - Dec 9. Learn how novel traits and
   genetic variants are discovered, and how they get from genebank to plant
   breeders, then on to farmers and consumers.
