Epigenetics and plant breeding. [PDF]

open access: possibleCABI Reviews, 2012
Abstract The amazing ability of epigenetic mechanisms to respond to a wide range of developmental and environmental signals in eukaryotes has earned them a lot of attention. Indeed, epigenetically regulated gene expression (variations in gene expression obtained without permanent alteration of the DNA sequence) is involved in ...

TILLING for Plant Breeding

2014
TILLING is widely used in plant functional genomics. Mutagenesis and SNP detection is combined to allow for the isolation of mutations in genes of interest. It can also be used as a plant breeding tool, whereby variation in known or candidate genes of interest to breeding programs is generated. Here we describe a simple low-cost TILLING procedure.

Genomics and plant breeding

2001
Much of our most basic understanding of genetics has its roots in plant genetics and crop breeding. The study of plants has led to important insights into highly conserved biological process and a wealth of knowledge about development. Agriculture is now well positioned to take its share benefit from genomics.

Plant breeding [PDF]

open access: possible, 1997
Because trace minerals are important not only for human nutrition, but for plant nutrition as well, plant breeding holds great promise for making a significant low-cost and sustainable contribution to reducing micronutrient deficiencies in humans, and may have important spinoff effects for increasing farm productivity in developing countries in an ...

Plant breeding

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1973
Abstract This paper discusses the question: what genetic contributions to efficiency of crop plant production may be expected in the next decade or two? Two aspects of efficiency are recognized. General efficiency, reflected in the yield of a standard product, is essentially a matter of conversion of carbon dioxide and radiant energy ...
