Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.0K
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.

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.3K
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...

Fruit Development, Structure, and Function

22.4K
Fruits form from a mature flower ovary. As seeds develop from the ovules contained within, the ovary wall undergoes a series of complex changes to form fruit. In some fruits, such as soybeans, the ovary wall dries; in other fruits, such as grapes, it remains fleshy. In some cases, organs other than the ovary contribute to fruit formation; such fruits are called accessory fruits.

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.0K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Area of Science:

  • Plant genetics and genomics
  • Bioinformatics and database development

Background:

  • Fruit traits significantly influence plant fitness, productivity, and quality.
  • Gene regulatory networks are crucial for controlling diverse fruit characteristics.
  • Limited availability of specialized gene databases hinders research in fruit trait regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive database for genes related to fruit traits.
  • To provide researchers with tools for gene function annotation and molecular breeding.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled 35,365 genes from existing databases (FR database, UniProt) and literature mining (2014-2021).
  • Utilized homology analysis to identify additional potential fruit trait-related genes.
  • Integrated analysis tools including pathway analysis, gene ontology, protein-protein interactions, and BLAST.

Main Results:

  • Established the Gene Improvements for Fruit Trait Database (GIFTdb) with 35,365 genes.
  • GIFTdb supports various analytical functions for exploring gene relationships and functions.
  • Enables homology-based searching for potential fruit trait genes not yet in the database.

Conclusions:

  • GIFTdb serves as a valuable resource for plant researchers focused on fruit trait improvement.
  • The database facilitates gene function annotation and supports molecular breeding strategies.
  • It aids in understanding and manipulating genes for enhanced fruit characteristics.
