Spread of engineered genes to wild relatives.
Over the past 20 years, it has become possible to isolate genes from microbes, plants, and animals and to insert them into a range of plant species. During the next two decades, it is likely that genetically engineered crops will become widespread in agriculture. This presents new opportunities for making plants resistant to pests and diseases, better able to withstand stressful environments, a...
متن کاملAggression in wild house mice: current state of affairs.
This paper reviews our present state of knowledge of genetic variation in (offensive) aggression in wild house mice. The basic tools in this research were lines bidirectionally selected for attack latency (fast attacking SAL and slow attacking LAL males), descended from a feral population. Using congenic lines for the nonpseudoautosomal region of the Y chromosome (YNPAR), reciprocal crosses bet...
متن کاملInvestigation of Diversity of Different Agronomic and Morphological Traits in Wild Wheat Relatives
Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Wild relatives of wheat are one of the most important genetic resources for use in wheat breeding programs. Therefore, identifying wheat wild relatives and Awareness of the diversity in them, also protecting these species is undeniably effective in expanding the richness of the gene pool and the genetic base of new cultivars and can be a good tool ...
متن کاملExploiting Wild Relatives for Genomics-assisted Breeding of Perennial Crops
Perennial crops are vital contributors to global food production and nutrition. However, the breeding of new perennial crops is an expensive and time-consuming process due to the large size and lengthy juvenile phase of many species. Genomics provides a valuable tool for improving the efficiency of breeding by allowing progeny possessing a trait of interest to be selected at the seed or seedlin...
متن کاملGene flow between crops and their wild relatives
Gene flow from domesticated plants to free-growing relatives was a rather trivial issue before the advent of transgenic crops. Gene flow into crops was relatively more important, especially to plant breeders trying to introduce new genes in a crop, or to breeders and seed growers wanting to ensure the genetic purity of a cultivar. Genes can now be transferred from bacteria, or potentially any p...
