Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.5K
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.

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

69.0K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Trait and State Self-Esteem

11.5K
The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

126.4K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

ATP Yield01:31

ATP Yield

78.4K
Cellular respiration produces 30 - 32 ATP per glucose molecule. Although most of the ATP results from oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain (ETC), 4 ATP are gained beforehand (2 from glycolysis and 2 from the citric acid cycle).
The ETC is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is comprised of four main protein complexes and an ATP synthase. NADH and FADH2 pass electrons to these complexes, which pump protons into the intermembrane space. This distribution of...

Area of Science:

  • Plant breeding and genetics
  • Quantitative genetics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Genomic selection (GS) offers an alternative to marker-assisted selection for complex quantitative traits.
  • Soybean breeding can benefit from advanced genomic prediction methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential of genomic selection for predicting quantitative traits in elite soybean breeding lines.
  • To compare different genomic prediction methods and assess their effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 483 elite soybean lines genotyped with BARCSoySNP6K iSelect BeadChips.
  • Employed cross-validation with the RR-BLUP model to assess predictive abilities (rMP).
  • Compared within-population (WP) and across-population (AP) prediction methods.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high predictive abilities for protein (0.81) and oil (0.71), and moderate for yield (0.26) using GS.
  • Observed minimal impact of marker density on predictive ability.
  • Across-population (AP) method showed comparable results to within-population (WP) for protein and oil, suggesting practicality.

Conclusions:

  • Genomic selection demonstrates significant potential for improving soybean breeding for protein and oil content.
  • The across-population (AP) method is a practical approach that can be further optimized with larger training datasets and increased relatedness.
  • Yield prediction remains a challenge, requiring further research and methodological improvements.
