5Gs for crop genetic improvement
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2020 Here we propose a 5G breeding approach for bringing much-needed disruptive changes to crop improvement. These 5Gs are Genome assembly, Germplasm characterization, Gene function identification, Genomic breeding (GB), and Gene editing (GE). In our view, it is important to have genome assemblies available for each crop and a deep collection of germplasm ...

The Role of Somaclonal Variation in Plant Genetic Improvement: A Systematic Review
Agronomy, 2023 The instability of in vitro cultures may cause genetic and epigenetic changes in crops called somaclonal variations. Sometimes, these changes produce beneficial effects; for example, they can be used in breeding programs to generate new cultivars with ...

Leaf angle: a target of genetic improvement in cereal crops tailored for high‐density planting
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Summary High‐density planting is an effective measure for increasing crop yield per unit land area. Leaf angle (LA) is a key trait of plant architecture and a target for genetic improvement of crops.

Use of Gamma Radiation for the Genetic Improvement of Underutilized Plant Varieties
Plants, 2022 Agricultural biodiversity includes many species that have biological variants (natives, ecotypes, races, morphotypes). Their use is restricted to local areas because they do not fulfill the commercial requirements; however, it is well documented that ...

Genetic Improvement of Wheat for Drought Tolerance: Progress, Challenges and Opportunities
Plants, 2022 Wheat production and productivity are challenged by recurrent droughts associated with climate change globally. Drought and heat stress resilient cultivars can alleviate yield loss in marginal production agro-ecologies. The ability of some crop genotypes

Genetic Improvement in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.): Progress and Outlook: A Review
Agronomy, 2022 Sesame production and productivity are severely constrained by a lack of high-yielding and locally adapted varieties, susceptibility to capsule shattering and low seed retention, biotic and abiotic stresses, and a lack of modern production and pre- and ...

Genetic Improvement of Heat Stress Tolerance in Cereal Crops
Agronomy, 2022 Crop heat stress is a threat to food supply, with heatwaves expected to increase in frequency and intensity globally. In addition to yield loss, heat stress dramatically reduces fertility and seed-setting rate, grain quality and weight, and seed ...

Planta, 2022 Some salt stress response mechanisms can translate into sorghum forage yield and thus act as targets for genetic improvement. Sorghum is a drought-tolerant cereal that is widely grown in the vast Africa’s arid and semi-arid areas.
