Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

17.2K
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.

Experimental RNAi

6.5K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Plant Breeding
  • Genetics

Background:

  • The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) established the Genetic Evaluation and Utilization (GEU) program to improve rice crops.
  • The GEU program integrates expertise from plant breeding, pathology, entomology, agronomy, cereal chemistry, plant physiology, and soil chemistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the structure and achievements of the GEU program at IRRI.
  • To detail the comprehensive approach to rice germ plasm improvement and dissemination.

Main Methods:

  • Collection, conservation, and screening of over 40,000 rice varieties.
  • Identification of donor parents for resistance to diseases, insects, and environmental stresses.
  • Development and international exchange of improved germ plasm and breeding materials.

Main Results:

  • Screening identified varieties for grain quality, disease/insect resistance, and stress tolerance.
  • Development of rice varieties with resistance to multiple diseases and insect species.
  • International distribution of improved breeding materials and training for 194 scientists.

Conclusions:

  • The GEU program has successfully developed and distributed improved rice germ plasm.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration and germ plasm exchange are crucial for global rice improvement.
  • The program contributes significantly to enhancing rice cultivation worldwide.
