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 Plants02:50

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...

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Plant Biotechnology
  • Genome Engineering

Background:

  • Site-specific and adaptable DNA binding domains are crucial for advancing genome engineering technologies in crop improvement.
  • Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) offer highly specific and adaptable DNA binding capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent research and discuss the potential applications of TALE nucleases (TALENs) in crop improvement.
  • To highlight TALENs' role in accelerating the generation of genomic variants and developing non-transgenic genetically modified (GM) crops.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing TALE chimeric nucleases (TALENs) to induce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) in various cell types.
  • Exploiting cellular DNA repair pathways, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homology-dependent repair (HDR), for targeted modifications.

Main Results:

  • TALENs enable the generation of genomic DSBs at user-defined loci in vitro and in vivo across diverse organisms.
  • TALENs facilitate site-specific gene addition, stacking, deletion, or inactivation through targeted mutagenesis.

Conclusions:

  • TALENs represent a powerful tool for agricultural biotechnology, enabling precise genome engineering in crops.
  • The application of TALENs can accelerate the development of crops with desired phenotypes, including non-transgenic GM varieties.
