Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.0K
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.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Transgenic Plants

8.9K
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...

Incomplete Dominance

31.6K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

    Summary

    Researchers developed near-isogenic introgression lines (NILs) from teosinte to study maize genetic diversity. Analysis revealed quantitative trait loci (QTL) for key agricultural traits, enhancing resources for genetic studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Plant genetics
    • Agricultural science
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Teosinte possesses greater genetic diversity than maize.
    • Limited genetic resources hinder the exploration of teosinte's diversity.
    • Developing new resources is crucial for maize genetic studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To broaden resources for maize genetic diversity studies.
    • To develop and evaluate near-isogenic introgression lines (NILs) from teosinte.
    • To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with important agronomic traits.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed 928 NILs from 10 teosinte accessions in the B73 maize background.
    • Performed joint linkage analysis on 10 introgression populations.
    • Utilized targeted NILs for QTL validation.

    Main Results:

    • Identified several large-effect QTL for days to anthesis (DTA), kernel row number (KRN), and 50-kernel weight (Wt50k).
    • Confirmed known kernel domestication loci.
    • Discovered novel QTL with varying allelic effects.
    • Validated a KRN QTL on chromosome 2.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed introgression populations are valuable tools for QTL discovery and validation.
    • These resources provide a platform for fine-mapping studies.
    • The findings contribute to understanding the genetic basis of maize domestication and trait variation.
