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 ...

Gene Transfer in Crop Improvement
Science, 1987Transfer of genes between plant species has played an important role in crop improvement for many decades. Useful traits such as resistance to disease, insects, and stress have been transferred to crop varieties from noncultivated plants. Recombinant DNA methods greatly extend (even outside the plant kingdom) the sources from which genetic information ...

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 ...

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

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.

Genetic Engineering in Crop Improvement
1991Several biotecnological intervents directed to the improvement of crop plants have been discussed in this chapter. The approaches thar are directlty related to the molecular engineering of plants and to the use of molecular probes in plant selection have been ...

Reproduction mode and crop improvement
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1968The author has tried to accumulate data on the reproduction modes of crop plants: autogamy and allogamy in the case of sexuality, involving self-fertility and self-sterility, and different means of vegetative propagation and apomixis. In combination with the state of ploidy and the basic chromosome number the different modes of reproduction exert a ...

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 ...
