Plant Breeding and Biotechnology01:59

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.

Overview
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 Culture02:57

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.

Overview
Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...

Background:

  • Genomic selection (GS) is an advanced form of marker-assisted selection (MAS) utilizing genomic estimated breeding values.
  • Previous research indicates GS's utility for quantitative trait loci with small effects.
  • Limited practical information has hindered widespread adoption of GS in plant breeding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review genomic selection (GS) from a practical plant breeding perspective.
  • To describe statistical approaches and recent progress in GS studies.
  • To discuss the future prospects and integration of GS in plant breeding.

Main Methods:

  • Review of statistical concepts in GS, including genetic models, variance decomposition, heritability, breeding value, and linear models.
  • Survey of recent empirical studies on GS.
  • Discussion of practical considerations for GS implementation in plant breeding.

Main Results:

  • GS utilizes statistical concepts like genetic models and variance decomposition for breeding value estimation.
  • Empirical studies demonstrate the progress and potential of GS.
  • Key factors for practical GS include linkage disequilibrium, population characteristics, marker data, and breeding schemes.

Conclusions:

  • Genomic selection (GS) is a valuable and potent approach for plant breeding, despite current imperfections.
