AGRO411/811 Crop Genetic Engineering
Deana Namuth-Covert, PhD
dcovert2@unl.edu
Welcome to Crop Genetic Engineering! This course module will run October 22 - December 14. In this course module we'll have undergraduate students, graduate students and people taking it for professional development (non-credit) - possibly working towards the UNL Plant Breeding Certificate Program.
You will get an introduction to genetic engineering, one of the most rapidly integrated and intensively scrutinized technologies applied to crop production in the United States and beyond. You will learn the basic steps required to produce a genetically engineered crop, with emphasis on procedures used to develop current crops and innovations that will lead to future products. You will become familiar with the genetic engineering process, learn to predict how changes in the different steps of the process influence the final crop, and apply your new knowledge of genetic engineering technology to plan the development of new genetically engineered crops.
Here is some information to explain how the next few weeks will work and help you get oriented to this web environment. We'll be trying some new tools this year, so any feedback you have for us is definitely welcomed.
Get started by watching our orientation video! Click on the image below to access the video.
We also have written instructions
Enjoy the class and meeting new colleagues!

CenUSA Education Material
Deana Namuth-Covert
What is the Cenusa Bioenergy Project?
The Cenusa Bioenergy project is funded by the USDA and includes faculty and staff from 8 institutions working together to investigate perennial grasses as a feedstock for bioefuels and the creation of a regional sustainable biofuels system in the Midwest.
Cenusa Bioenergy Vision
Our vision is to create a regional system for producing advanced transportation fuels derivedfrom perennial grasses grown on land that is either unsuitable or marginal for row crop production. In addition to producing advanced biofuels, the proposed system will improve the sustainability of existing cropping ystems by reducing agricultural runoff of nutrients and soil and increasing carbon sequestration.

Irrigation Home Study Course
Chuck Burr
Extension Educator
Univ of Nebraska
chuck.burr@unl.edu
The intent of this Home Study Course is to increase the user’s awareness and understanding of irrigation management concepts. This in turn can help producers reduce irrigation application amounts and increase uniformity of application, thereby reducing deep percolation and runoff. The end result can be reduced irrigation costs, increased efficiency, increased yields and reduced surface and groundwater contamination.
The target audience for this course includes: crop consultants, agency personnel, irrigated crop producers and others interested in improving their irrigation water management skills.
There is additional information on irrigation management on the UNL Water webpage: http://water.unl.edu/web/cropswater/home
It is hoped that you find this course both helpful and enjoyable.
To begin work in the course click on "Lessons" in the task bar above. This will take you to a page where you can click on links to view each chapter. We recommend that you print a few of the addenda, especially the Tables and the Equations. For best printing results, set the printing properties to Portrait and, if available, to print both sides. Upon completing a chapter you can take the quiz by clicking on the "Quiz" link included in each lesson; you may use your printed addenda while taking each quiz. To earn CEU credit, you'll need to get 8 of 10 questions correct. You may retake quizzes as many times as you wish.

Plant Breeding Strategies - TCAP Course Module
Jamie Sherman
jsherman@montana.edu
Plant Breeding Strategies
***The next offering of plant breeding strategies is: To Be Determined***
Plant Breeding is critical to insure a sustainable food supply, especially now with climate change, increasing negative impacts of abiotic and biotic stresses on production; population growth, increasing demand for food; and increased costs for fertilizer, water and other inputs. Plant breeding is a complicated process that can be implemented in a variety of ways. There is no one plant breeding scheme that fits all situations. Plant Breeding Strategies will challenge students to gain understanding of the plant breeding project with which they are affiliated. A series of questions will guide students in investigating breeding projects. Students will share findings so that they will be exposed to different schemes or approaches to designing breeding programs. While a student may focus on a single scheme, more advanced students may come to realize that different traits are more amenable to different schemes and will be able to differentiate between breeding approaches (see Plant Breeding Strategies overview for more information).
