In response to increasing demand for capacity building on pre-breeding, the Global Partnership Initiative on Plant Breeding Capacity Building (GIPB) has just launched an e-learning course on Pre-breeding for effective use of plant genetic resources for plant breeders and germplasm curators and others engaged in germplasm management and/or crop improvement. We believe that this practical, self-paced instructional tool might be of interest to your CRP-RTB theme leaders, partners and collaborators. Click here for the announcement. You can access the e-course or request a copy of the course on CD from the GIPB web site here.
