Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.8K
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.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.9K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

26.3K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

21.6K
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...

Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation01:22

Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation

110
Nitrogen is an essential element in biological systems, forming a crucial component of proteins, nucleic acids, and other cellular constituents. Many bacteria and archaea acquire nitrogen in the form of nitrate (NO₃⁻) or ammonia (NH₃), which are then assimilated into biomolecules through specific enzymatic pathways.Assimilatory Nitrate ReductionWhen nitrate enters the cell, it undergoes a two-step reduction process known as assimilatory nitrate reduction. Initially, the enzyme...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Plant Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Maize (Zea mays L.) is a vital global crop but faces limitations in temperate regions due to its tropical origin.
  • Incompatibility with cold spring conditions leads to a shorter growing season and a nitrogen use mismatch.
  • Current maize cultivation demands high fertilizer inputs due to nitrogen allocation to low-quality grain proteins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address key anomalies in temperate maize agriculture.
  • To develop a nitrogen-efficient and cold-tolerant maize variety.
  • To enhance sustainable agricultural practices and reduce environmental impact.

Main Methods:

  • Establishing the Circular Economy that Reimagines Corn Agriculture initiative.
  • Researching cold and frost tolerance for early growth stages.
  • Investigating methods to reduce nitrogen allocation to grain proteins.
  • Exploring biological nitrification inhibition for soil nitrogen stabilization.

Main Results:

  • Proposed blueprints for a novel maize variety.
  • Aims to enable planting in early spring, utilizing available nitrogen and light.
  • Designed to reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

Conclusions:

  • A cold-tolerant, nitrogen-efficient maize can optimize C4 photosynthesis in temperate zones.
  • This approach can increase crop yields and minimize environmental impact.
  • Facilitates full utilization of the growing season for enhanced agricultural productivity.
