Abstract:
In complement to classical approaches currently used in agricultural science in characterizing and exploiting in breeding traits- or phenotype-driving genes and genetic variants from modern genetic diversity, knowledge of past evolution and adaptation processes from ancient plant DNA can be mobilized to develop varieties adapted to current environmental challenges. The article reviews the current scientific and technical insights from the investigation of ancient DNA from plant remains with a focus in wheat.

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...
