Background and Environment Affect Phenotype02:27

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

6.5K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Genomics

36.4K
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...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

18.9K
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.

The Central Dogma01:20

The Central Dogma

21.7K
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...

Light Acquisition02:16

Light Acquisition

8.5K
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.

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Agricultural Science

Background:

  • Large-scale genotype and phenotype data are essential for genetic marker identification, gene function studies, and genomic selection in agriculture.
  • Integrating heterogeneous data sources for genotype and phenotype information presents significant challenges, limiting effective utilization for crop breeding and sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data types and resources for archiving, analyzing, and visualizing genotype and phenotype data within the plant genomic research community.
  • To identify the needs and challenges faced by researchers in managing and integrating large-scale genomic and phenotypic datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Established the Genotype-Phenotype Working Group under the AgBioData Consortium.
  • Identified diverse datasets and examined metadata annotations (experimental design, methods, sample collection).
  • Reviewed publicly funded repositories, secondary databases, and knowledgebases for data integration capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Identified various data types and assessed metadata completeness for genotype and phenotype information.
  • Evaluated existing repositories and databases for their capacity to integrate heterogeneous data.
  • Highlighted the need for improved infrastructure, community standards, biocuration resources, and analysis tools.

Conclusions:

  • Recommends enhanced infrastructural support for new data types and the development of community standards for data annotation and formatting.
  • Emphasizes the need for biocuration resources and advanced analysis/visualization tools to connect genotype and phenotype data.
  • Suggests that addressing these needs will enhance knowledge synthesis and promote translational research in plant genomics, with potential parallels in animal research.
