The changing landscape of agriculture: role of precision breeding in developing smart crops.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Functional & integrative genomics [Funct Integr Genomics] 2023 May 19; Vol. 23 (2), pp. 167. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 May 19.
Abstract: Food plants play a crucial role in human survival, providing them essential nutrients. However, traditional breeding methods have not been able to keep up with the demands of the growing population. The improvement of food plants aims to increase yield...
Roles of Brossinosteroids Signaling in Biotic and Abiotic Stresses.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of agricultural and food chemistry [J Agric Food Chem] 2023 May 31; Vol. 71 (21), pp. 7947-7960. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 May 17.
Abstract: Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant-specific steroidal phytohormones, which play fundamental roles in regulating diverse aspects of the plant life cycle including plant growth, development, and stress response. Extensive studies have demonstrat...
Causes of Mutation Rate Variability in Plant Genomes.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Annual review of plant biology [Annu Rev Plant Biol] 2023 May 22; Vol. 74, pp. 751-775. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 08.
Abstract: Mutation is the source of all heritable diversity, the essential material of evolution and breeding. While mutation rates are often regarded as constant, variability in mutation rates has been observed at nearly every level-varying across mutation type...
Improving sustainable crop protection using population genetics concepts.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Molecular ecology [Mol Ecol] 2023 May; Vol. 32 (10), pp. 2461-2471. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Aug 15.
Abstract: Growing genetically resistant plants allows pathogen populations to be controlled and reduces the use of pesticides. However, pathogens can quickly overcome such resistance. In this context, how can we achieve sustainable crop protection? This crucial ...
CRISPR-Based Genome Editing Tools: An Accelerator in Crop Breeding for a Changing Future.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International journal of molecular sciences [Int J Mol Sci] 2023 May 11; Vol. 24 (10). Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 May 11.
Abstract: Genome editing is an important strategy to maintain global food security and achieve sustainable agricultural development. Among all genome editing tools, CRISPR-Cas is currently the most prevalent and offers the most promise. In this review, we summar...
Exploring impact of recombination landscapes on breeding outcomes.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A] 2023 Apr 04; Vol. 120 (14), pp. e2205785119. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 27.
Abstract: Plant breeding relies on crossing-over to create novel combinations of alleles needed to confer increased productivity and other desired traits in new varieties. However, crossover (CO) events are rare, as usually only one or two of them occur per chro...
High-resolution mapping of SrTm4, a recessive resistance gene to wheat stem rust.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik [Theor Appl Genet] 2023 Apr 27; Vol. 136 (5), pp. 120. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 27.
Abstract: Key Message: The diploid wheat recessive stem rust resistance gene SrTm4 was fine-mapped to a 754-kb region on chromosome arm 2A m L and potential candidate genes were identified. Race Ug99 of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), the causal agent of...
Genetic mapping of some key plant architecture traits in Brassica juncea using a doubled haploid population derived from a cross between two distinct lines: vegetable type Tumida and oleiferous Varuna.

Abstract: Key Message: Genetic mapping of some key plant architectural traits in a vegetable type and an oleiferous B. juncea cross revealed QTL and candidate genes for breeding more productive ideotypes. Brassica juncea (AABB, 2n = 36), commonly called mustard,...
Toward mechanistic modeling and rational engineering of plant respiration.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Plant physiology [Plant Physiol] 2023 Apr 03; Vol. 191 (4), pp. 2150-2166.
Abstract: Plant respiration not only provides energy to support all cellular processes, including biomass production, but also plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, modulation of plant respiration can be used to both increase the plant yield ...
Genotyping of DNA pools identifies untapped landraces and genomic regions to develop next-generation varieties.
