Genetic engineering to improve quality, productivity and value of crops

California Agriculture, 2000
Over the next 25 years, we believe that the most significant changes in crops will come about by applying genetic engineering tools. Crops may be bioengineered to produce modified kinds of starch, oils and high-value proteins for better

Development of BC₃F₂ Tomato Genotypes with Arthropod Resistance Introgressed from Solanum habrochaites var. hirsutum (PI127826)

Horticulturae, 2022
Arthropod pests are among the biggest problems faced in tomato production worldwide. To overcome the losses caused by these pests, one of the most sustainable and economical strategies is the use of resistance introgressed from wild species.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ophiorrhiza pumila reveals the evolution of camptothecin biosynthesis

Nature Communications, 2021
Ophiorrhiza pumila is a medicinal plant that can produce the anti-cancer monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) camptothecin. Here, the authors report its genome assembly and propose a working model for MIA evolution and biosynthesis through comparative ...

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]

, 2010
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

Haplotyping the Vitis collinear core genome with rhAmpSeq improves marker transferability in a diverse genus

Nature Communications, 2020
Trait introgression requires universal markers, but cross-species transferability of current SNP markers can be as low as 2%. Here, the authors use an AmpSeq haplotype strategy targeting the collinear core genome for marker development and show ...

Use of genetic markers for the detection of off-types for DUS phenotypic traits in the inbreeding crop, barley [PDF]

, 2020
Detection of crop off-types is of interest for multiple uses, including the assessment of uniformity for new plant variety applications during distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS) testing for the awarding of plant breeders’ rights (PBR). Here,

Simple and efficient isolation of plant genomic DNA using magnetic ionic liquids

Plant Methods, 2022
Background Plant DNA isolation and purification is a time-consuming and laborious process relative to epithelial and viral DNA sample preparation due to the cell wall. The lysis of plant cells to free intracellular DNA normally requires high temperatures,

Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Stalk fracture caused by strong wind can severely reduce yields in maize. Stalks with higher stiffness and flexibility will exhibit stronger lodging resistance. However, stalk flexibility is rarely studied in maize.
