Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.1K
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 Plants

9.0K
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...

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Incomplete Dominance

32.0K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Summary

Gene bank accessions of barley are frequently mislabeled or heterogeneous. This genetic misrepresentation, affecting nearly 20% of lines, hinders crucial plant research and breeding efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Agriculture
  • Genetics
  • Plant Science

Background:

  • Maintaining viable cereal germplasm in gene banks (GBs) is essential for plant research and breeding.
  • Seed multiplication to restore viability can introduce human errors, leading to contamination or mislabeling of accessions.
  • Accumulated errors result in non-authentic genotypes, compromising the integrity of stored genetic resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the authenticity and homogeneity of barley accessions stored in gene banks.
  • To quantify the extent of mislabeling and heterogeneity in barley germplasm collections.
  • To identify the impact of genetic non-authenticity on research and breeding programs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 1412 lines from 289 accessions across 93 barley varieties obtained from multiple GBs.
  • Postulation of major powdery mildew resistance genes from five single seed progenies (SSPs) per accession.
  • Identification of 22 known resistance genes and 60 of their combinations.

Main Results:

  • Found 40 (13.8%) mislabeled and 102 (35.3%) heterogeneous accessions.
  • Identified 276 lines (19.7%) carrying non-authentic genotypes.
  • Non-authentic genotypes exhibited different resistance gene profiles compared to other genotypes within the same variety.

Conclusions:

  • A significant proportion of barley germplasm in gene banks is mislabeled or heterogeneous.
  • Genetic misrepresentation in GBs poses a substantial problem for plant research and breeding.
  • Inaccurate varietal characteristics and unobtainable gene combinations impede scientific advancement and crop improvement.
