Mutation Breeding for the Improvement of Amaranth
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 5, Mutation Breeding, in Plant Breeding Methods. Its purpose is to introduce mutation breeding as a tool for crop improvement using Amaranth as a case study, specifically how novel alleles can be created through induced mutagenesis when desired traits are absent or rare in existing germplasm, and how such alleles can be validated and [...]
Recurrent selection for multi-trait improvement in Sesame
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 9, Recurrent Selection, in Plant Breeding Methods. Its purpose it to work towards designing and evaluating a recurrent selection breeding program for Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), how interactive selection and controlled recombination can simultaneously improve multiple traits. This ALA aligns with breeding decisions with classical recurrent [...]
Hybridization-Centered Breeding of Climate-Resilient and Nutrient-Dense Finger Millet
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 4, Techniques for Artificial Hybridization, in Plant Breeding Methods. It explains how hybridization is a central driver of genetic improvement to develop climate-resilient, farmer-preferred finger millet varieties. It examines how breeders overcome constraints on genetic variation, focuses on floral biology, anthesis timing, and [...]
Development of homozygous Okra lines for variety improvement
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 8, Inbreeding, in Plant Breeding Methods. Its purpose is to help students discuss the principles of inbreeding in Okra and how breeders can generate homozygous uniform lines to generate pure line cultivars and hybrid parent development. Students will evaluate pedigrees and bulk and single-seed descent (SSD) methods, and assess how the [...]
Marker-assisted backcrossing for pigeonpea
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 7, Backcrossing, in Plant Breeding Methods. Its purpose is to understand how backcrossing combined with molecular markers can be used to efficiently introgress specific major genes into elite pigeonpea cultivars. The activity emphasizes marker assisted backcrossing (MABC) as a strategy to improve disease resistance, flowering time, seed [...]
Genetic Transformation and Gene Editing for Taro Improvement (Colocasia esculenta)
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 2, Novel Traits from Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology, in Plant Breeding Methods. Its purpose is to help learners develop an understanding to critically analyze a genetic transformation experiment by evaluating experimental design choices, interpreting molecular verification methods, and exploring how genome editing technologies can be [...]
Sources of Parental Germplasm and Target Product Profile Development for Bambara Groundnut
Faizo Kasule, Walter P. Suza
Activity/Lab 2026-05-05 Agriculture Fehr and Suza, Plant Breeding Methods
This Applied Learning Activity (ALA) accompanies chapter 2, Sources of Parental Germplasm, in Plant Breeding Methods. It examines how plant breeders can exploit the sources of parental germplasm of Bambara groundnut to define objectives on crop utilization, stakeholder needs, crop genetics, and characteristics to transform this crop from being underutilized to an opportunity crop. The Applied [...]
Bridging the Gap: Immigrant Parents Book Club Toolkit
Jiyeong I, Constance Beecher, Kunhui (Connie) Kim
Instructor Guide 2026-04-22 Education Ames Korean School, Even Better
It is well known that children from immigrant families “encounter assimilative policies and practices that are premised on deficit perspectives of immigrant cultures and languages” (Lee & Walsh, 2017, p. 191). Many scholars (e.g., Paris, 2012, Ladson-Billing, 2009) emphasized the importance of supporting culturally and linguistically diverse students so they can sustain their cultures and [...]
