Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Transgenic Plants

Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

To highlight the use of functional genomics and high-throughput technologies in modern breeding.

Main Methods:

Utilizing molecular markers and cloned resistance genes for high-throughput screening of resistant varieties.
Employing functional genomics to identify genetic mechanisms controlling traits of interest.
Exploiting gene sequence polymorphisms to track favorable allele combinations in breeding programs.

Main Results:

Availability of numerous molecular markers and cloned resistance genes linked to pathogen resistance.
Development of a genomics-assisted breeding strategy for improving fruit quality through functional genomics.
Demonstration of high-throughput genomic technologies for pyramiding beneficial alleles in commercial cultivars.

Conclusions:

Genomics-assisted breeding significantly enhances the selection of disease-resistant and high-quality tomato varieties.
