Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.4K
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.

Radical Chain-Growth Polymerization: Chain Branching

2.4K
The skeletal structure of polymers synthesized via radical polymerization is always branched. For example, the polymerization of ethylene by radical polymerization results in a low-density grade of polyethylene with a heavily branched skeletal structure. Here, the radical site abstracts hydrogen from the growing chain, and the radical site shifts from the end (a primary carbon center) to anywhere within the growing chain (a secondary carbon center). Consequently, the part of the chain from the...

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Primary and Secondary Growth in Roots and Shoots

60.0K
Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Rice branching, crucial for crop yield, is regulated by strigolactones. Genes like DWARF27 (D27) and DWARF14 (D14) impact tillering, while DEP1 and IPA1 control panicle architecture for improved rice grain yields.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Plant Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Rice branching (tillering and panicle formation) is vital for agronomic importance.
  • Strigolactones, terpenoid lactones, inhibit axillary bud outgrowth and regulate tillering.
  • Recent discoveries have identified key genes influencing strigolactone pathways and panicle development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the genetic regulation of rice tillering and panicle branching.
  • To elucidate the roles of strigolactones and associated genes in rice development.
  • To identify genetic factors for improving rice grain yield through molecular breeding.

Main Methods:

  • Identification and characterization of rice tillering mutants (e.g., d27, d14).
  • Analysis of strigolactone levels and response in identified mutants.
  • Genetic analysis of genes controlling panicle branching (e.g., DEP1, IPA1).

Main Results:

  • Mutants like dwarf 27 (d27) and dwarf14 (d14) exhibit reduced strigolactone levels or response.
  • DWARF27 (D27) and DWARF14 (D14) are implicated in strigolactone biosynthesis and signal transduction.
  • DEP1 and IPA1/WFP act as critical regulators of rice panicle architecture, influencing grain yield.

Conclusions:

  • Genetic manipulation of strigolactone pathways offers potential for enhancing rice tillering.
  • DEP1 and IPA1 alleles are valuable genetic resources for improving rice grain yields via molecular breeding.
  • Understanding these branching mechanisms is key to advancing rice cultivation and food security.
