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.

What is Genetic Engineering?

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.
Genomics02:02

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
Synthetic Biology02:55

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Summary

Genomic selection offers potential for plant breeding but faces challenges. Approaches successful in dairy cattle breeding may not easily translate to complex plant breeding applications.

Area of Science:

  • Plant genetics and breeding
  • Genomics and bioinformatics
  • Agricultural science

Background:

  • Traditional plant breeding relies heavily on phenotypic selection.
  • Genetic markers are used for specific traits like disease resistance.
  • Genomic selection (GS) is a newer molecular method using marker data without prior knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the applicability of genomic selection in plant breeding.
  • To highlight the limitations of directly applying dairy cattle GS models to plants.
  • To discuss the challenges in implementing GS for complex plant traits.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing empirical and theoretical studies on genomic selection in various species.
  • Comparative analysis of genomic selection implementation in animal versus plant breeding.
  • Discussion of the 'black box' approach of genomic selection.

Main Results:

  • Genomic selection shows promise as a novel molecular tool for plant breeding.
  • Direct application of dairy cattle genomic selection models to plants is not straightforward.
  • Complex plant breeding presents unique challenges for current genomic selection methodologies.

Conclusions:

  • While genomic selection has potential, its direct transfer from dairy cattle to plant breeding requires careful consideration.
  • Further research is needed to adapt genomic selection for complex plant traits.
  • The effectiveness of genomic selection in plants may depend on species-specific genetic architectures.
