Potato Protoplasts in Crop Improvement
Science, 1980Clonal populations regenerated from single-leaf cell protoplasts of the potato cultivar `Russet Burbank' display a high frequency of variation for several horticultural and disease resistance characters. Observations over a period of three tuber generations suggest stable changes in tuber shape, yield, and maturity date, in photo-period ...

1993
Between 1987 and 1991, the United States Department of Agriculture received well over 100 proposals for field trials of transgenic plants. The majority of trials were designed to test for enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Table 1). Other trials were concerned with alterations in product quality: delayed fruit ripening, modified seed ...

Meiotic mutations and crop improvement.
2007Meiosis is a complex multistep process characterized by highly defined events which include chromosome pairing, synaptonemal complex formation, crossing over and recombination, disjunction of homologous chromosomes, and cytokinesis. Together with DNA replication combined with two successive nuclear divisions, meiosis leads to chromosome reduction ...

Redox Strategies for Crop Improvement
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2015Recently, the agro-biotech industry has been driven by overcoming the limitations imposed by fluctuating environmental stress conditions on crop productivity. A common theme among (a)biotic stresses is the perturbation of the redox homeostasis.As a strategy to engineer stress-tolerant crops, many approaches have been centered on restricting the ...

Genetics of Food Crop Improvement
1976Man’s food-procuring habits underwent a change about ten thousand years ago when he began to select plants for food. He thus initiated the engineering of his food supply and laid the foundation for crop cultivation. His dependence on wild plants and hunted animals decreased as cultivated plants became a more dependable source of food.

Association genetics in crop improvement
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2010Increased availability of high throughput genotyping technology together with advances in DNA sequencing and in the development of statistical methodology appropriate for genome-wide association scan mapping in presence of considerable population structure contributed to the increased interest association mapping in plants. While most published studies

Plant biotechnology for crop improvement
Biotechnology Advances, 1995The typical crop improvement cycle takes 10-15 years to complete and includes germplasm manipulations, genotype selection and stabilization, variety testing, variety increase, proprietary protection and crop production stages. Plant tissue culture and genetic engineering procedures that form the basis of plant biotechnology can contribute to most of ...
