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.

Modern Molecular Taxonomy

Modern Molecular Taxonomy

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Protein Glycosylation

Protein Glycosylation

Glycosylation, the most common post-translational modification for proteins, serves diverse functions. Adding sugars to proteins makes the proteins more resistant to proteolytic digestion. Glycosylated proteins can act as markers and receptors to promote cell-cell adhesion. Additionally, they have many essential quality control functions in the cell, such as correct protein folding and facilitating transport of misfolded proteins to the cytosol, which can be degraded.
Glycosylation occurs in...

Background:

Functional markers (FMs) are crucial for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding.
FMs are developed from sequence polymorphisms in allelic variants of functional genes.
Accurate allele discrimination by FMs enhances breeding efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize functional markers (FMs) developed and utilized in common wheat.
To provide an updated overview of FMs and gene-specific STS markers for wheat.
To facilitate the application of these markers in wheat breeding programs.

Main Methods:

Summarizing FMs developed from over 30 cloned wheat loci.
Developing FMs based on in silico cloning and comparative genomics.
Describing molecular markers for alien genes introduced into wheat.

Main Results:

97 FMs have been developed, identifying 93 alleles across various wheat loci.
FMs target genes associated with processing quality, agronomic traits, and disease resistance.
14 molecular markers specific for alien genes were also described.

Conclusions:

Functional markers are valuable tools for precise wheat breeding.
The described FMs and markers offer significant potential for improving wheat varieties.
This compilation aids researchers and breeders in selecting appropriate markers for wheat improvement.
