Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.2K
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

8.3K
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...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.1K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Genetics
  • Human Nutrition

Background:

  • Wheat grain naturally contains low levels of essential micronutrients like iron and zinc.
  • Micronutrient deficiency affects billions globally, with wheat-based diets being a major contributor.
  • Conventional fortification of wheat flour is costly and faces sustainability challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of advanced genomics for biofortification of wheat.
  • To identify and engineer genes responsible for enhanced iron and zinc content in wheat grains.
  • To provide a foundation for developing sustainable wheat cultivars with improved nutritional value.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing recent high-quality wheat genome sequences and gene expression atlases.
  • Leveraging variation datasets and sequenced mutant populations for gene discovery.
  • Applying gene-focused approaches, including gene editing, transgenic methods, and TILLING.

Main Results:

  • Genomic resources provide a foundation for identifying genetic loci controlling micronutrient content.
  • Novel genomic approaches can accelerate the discovery of candidate genes for biofortification.
  • Integration of knowledge from other cereal crops aids in identifying key genes.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced genomics and gene editing offer powerful tools to biofortify wheat with iron and zinc.
  • Developing high-yield, high-micronutrient wheat cultivars remains a key objective.
  • Biofortification presents a sustainable strategy to combat global micronutrient deficiencies.
