Twenty-first century plant biology: impacts of the Arabidopsis genome on plant biology and agriculture.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) rapidly emerged as a model system for plant biology due to the ease of genetic approaches to study development, physiology, and gene function coupled with a highly collaborative community. Arabidopsis’s position as the premiere model plant system was cemented in the early 1990s when the EST project commenced at Michigan State...

Marker-assisted selection: an approach for precision plant breeding in the twenty-first century.

DNA markers have enormous potential to improve the efficiency and precision of conventional plant breeding via marker-assisted selection (MAS). The large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping studies for diverse crops species have provided an abundance of DNA marker-trait associations. In this review, we present an overview of the advantages of MAS and its most widely used applicatio...
