Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.4K
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

9.3K
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...

Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

24.6K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Area of Science:

  • Plant breeding
  • Genomics
  • Bioenergy

Background:

  • Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a key biofuel feedstock candidate.
  • Accurate biomass yield measurement is crucial but challenging for switchgrass breeding.
  • Genomic selection offers a potential solution to accelerate breeding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of genomic selection models for predicting switchgrass traits.
  • To assess the potential of genomic selection for improving biomass yield.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized genomic and phenotypic resources for switchgrass.
  • Applied three common genomic selection models.
  • Predicted phenotypic values for morphological and biomass quality traits.

Main Results:

  • High prediction accuracies were achieved for most traits.
  • Standability showed the highest prediction accuracy (0.52).
  • Morphological traits generally had higher prediction accuracies than biomass quality traits.

Conclusions:

  • Current genomic and phenotypic resources in switchgrass are adequate for effective genomic selection.
  • Genomic selection can significantly impact breeding efforts for biomass yield in switchgrass.
