Embryo Rescue in Plant Breeding. [PDF]

open access: yesPlants (Basel), 2023
Embryo rescue (ER) techniques are among the oldest and most successful in vitro tissue culture protocols used with plant species. ER refers to a series of methods that promote the development of an immature or lethal embryo into a viable plant. Intraspecific, interspecific, or intergeneric crosses allow the introgression of important alleles of ...

Biometry in plant breeding [PDF]

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2021
Abstract In this manuscript we discuss the purpose and scope of biometry and its interactions, complementation, and even overlap with several other areas of genetics. We emphasize that biometry is an area of genetics that enables researchers to analyze, process, and interpret biological phenomena from data, usually obtained from experimental tests, in ...

CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis of the tomato susceptibility gene PMR4 for resistance against powdery mildew

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background The development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology has facilitated targeted mutagenesis in an efficient and precise way. Previously, RNAi silencing of the susceptibility (S) gene P owdery M ildew R esistance 4 (PMR4) in tomato has been shown to enhance

Mitigating tradeoffs in plant breeding [PDF]

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Tradeoffs among plant traits help maintain relative fitness under unpredictable conditions and maximize reproductive success. However, modifying tradeoffs is a breeding challenge since many genes of minor effect are involved. The intensive crosstalk and fine-tuning between growth and defense responsive phytohormones via transcription factors optimizes ...

Comparative Subsequence Sets Analysis (CoSSA) is a robust approach to identify haplotype specific SNPs; mapping and pedigree analysis of a potato wart disease resistance gene Sen3

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2019
Background Standard strategies to identify genomic regions involved in a specific trait variation are often limited by time and resource consuming genotyping methods.

Extracting knowledge networks from plant scientific literature: potato tuber flesh color as an exemplary trait

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Scientific literature carries a wealth of information crucial for research, but only a fraction of it is present as structured information in databases and therefore can be analyzed using traditional data analysis tools.

Epigenetics in plant breeding [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Central European Agriculture, 2020
Current farming technology and advanced techniques of plant breeding are tending to enable high yields and cropping intensity, trying to alleviate the limitations of available arable land. However, rise in global population and climate changes could strain the ability to provide a stable food supply.

Transcriptome profiling at osmotic and ionic phases of salt stress response in bread wheat uncovers trait-specific candidate genes

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Bread wheat is one of the most important crops for the human diet, but the increasing soil salinization is causing yield reductions worldwide.

Transcriptome analysis of Gerbera hybrid: including in silico confirmation of defence genes found

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
For the ornamental crop Gerbera hybrida, breeding at the moment is done using conventional methods. As this has drawbacks in breeding speed and efficiency, especially for complex traits like disease resistance, we set out to develop genomic resources ...
