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...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

92
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.9K
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...

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.

Genomics

41.9K
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...

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

113
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

  • Interspecific hybridization leverages these traits to introduce valuable characteristics like disease resistance from the Solanum gene pool.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the genetic control of potato reproductive uniquenesses.
  • To discuss the application of reproductive information in potato breeding for trait enhancement.
  • To identify challenges and opportunities in potato breeding, including polyploid genetics and biotechnology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of genetic control mechanisms in potato reproduction.
  • Analysis of interspecific hybridization strategies for trait introgression.
  • Examination of genetic mapping, marker-assisted selection, and genomic information in potato breeding.

Main Results:

  • Genetic control mechanisms enable interspecific hybridization for trait enhancement in potatoes.
  • Tetraploid genetics presents a significant complexity in potato breeding.
  • Genetic maps, markers, and genome information aid in understanding potato evolution and breeding.

Conclusions:

  • Advancements in potato breeding are hindered by the need for large populations, long timeframes, and complex polyploid genetics.
  • Intellectual property rights and regulatory aspects of modern biotechnology remain challenges for increasing genetic variation in potato breeding.
