Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.3K
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...

The Calvin Benson Cycle

7.9K
Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) is a critical enzyme that catalyzes carbon dioxide assimilation during photosynthesis. However, it is an inefficient enzyme, having an extremely slow catalytic rate. A typical enzyme can process about a thousand molecules per second; however, RuBisCo fixes only around three-carbon dioxides per second. Photosynthetic cells compensate for this slow rate by synthesizing very high amounts of RuBisCo, making it the most abundant single...

Hypothesis: Accept or Fail to Reject?

30.1K
The outcome of any hypothesis testing leads to rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. This decision is taken based on the analysis of the data, an appropriate test statistic, an appropriate confidence level, the critical values, and P-values. However, when the evidence suggests that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, is it right to say, 'Accept' the null hypothesis?
There are two ways to indicate that the null hypothesis is not rejected. 'Accept' the null...

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

2.1K
Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

Background:

  • Multiparental populations have emerged as powerful tools for genetic studies in plants over the past decade.
  • Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercross (MAGIC) populations, characterized by inter-mated parents, are increasingly utilized in various species.
  • These populations offer substantial genetic diversity and phenotypic variation, enabling high-resolution trait mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the design and analysis of MAGIC populations in crops.
  • To discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by the complex pedigree structure of MAGIC populations.
  • To highlight recent achievements and future potential of MAGIC populations for gene discovery and crop improvement.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on MAGIC populations where all parents have undergone inter-mating.
  • Review of current large-scale MAGIC crop studies.
  • Discussion of population construction, experimental design, and genetic analysis strategies.

Main Results:

  • MAGIC populations provide a valuable genetic resource with extensive phenotypic diversity.
