Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.9K
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

7.5K
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...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

22.3K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

The Central Dogma01:20

The Central Dogma

28.7K
The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

Area of Science:

  • Plant breeding
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Modern plant breeding relies on integrating genomics and phenomics for developing improved cultivars.
  • Effective data management, quality control, and analytics are essential for data-driven breeding approaches.
  • Existing breeding databases are often complex, costly, and difficult to maintain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present Breedbase, a comprehensive, web-based database system for managing plant breeding data.
  • To provide an open-source, crop-agnostic solution to address the challenges of breeding database implementation and maintenance.

Main Methods:

  • Developed Breedbase as a web-based system, initially as Cassavabase, now crop-agnostic.
  • Ensured Breedbase supports tracking breeding materials, storing experimental data, and recording phenotypic and genotypic information.
  • Integrated algorithms for analysis, prediction, and selection decisions within the system.
  • Made Breedbase available as open-source software via GitHub and packaged as a Docker image for deployment.

Main Results:

  • Breedbase is a functional, web-based database system used by dozens of crops and projects.
  • The system facilitates efficient data management, quality control, and analysis for breeding programs.
  • Open-source availability and Docker packaging simplify implementation and maintenance.

Conclusions:

  • Breedbase offers a robust and integrated digital ecosystem for modern plant breeding programs.
  • The system empowers researchers to better manage and leverage data for improved decision-making.
  • Breedbase supports the development of high-adoption cultivars through advanced data analytics.
