Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

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.

Light Acquisition

Light Acquisition

In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Genomics

Genomics

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...

Background:

Horticultural plants are vital for human life, generating vast amounts of omics data.
Conserved genes are crucial for growth and development, but cross-species analysis is hindered by data fragmentation.
Existing resources for cross-species omics data mining in horticultural plants are insufficient.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce GERDH, a comprehensive database platform for cross-species omics data mining in horticultural plants.
To facilitate the identification of conserved genes essential for plant growth and development.
To provide accessible tools for analyzing big omics data in the horticultural community.

Main Methods:

Compiled and uniformly processed 12,961 omics libraries from over 150 horticultural plant accessions.
Developed a cross-species analysis module with interactive web-based data analysis and visualization.
Integrated seven online analysis tools including gene expression, in-species analysis, and phylogenetic analysis.

Main Results:

Identified key genes related to postharvest storage through interactive cross-species analysis.
Discovered new functions of CmEIN3 in flower development using gene expression analysis.
Validated findings through transgenic chrysanthemum analysis, demonstrating the utility of GERDH.

Conclusions:

GERDH serves as a valuable resource for identifying key genes in horticultural plants.
The platform enhances the accessibility and usability of big omics data for researchers.
GERDH supports advancements in understanding and improving horticultural plant traits.
