Genomic resources in mungbean for future breeding programs
Among the legume family, mungbean (Vigna radiata) has become one of the important crops in Asia, showing a steady increase in global production. It provides a good source of protein and contains most notably folate and iron. Beyond the nutritional value of mungbean, certain features make it a well-suited model organism among legume plants because of its small genome size, short life-cycle, self...
متن کاملParticipatory breeding, an approach for sustainable production of new rice cultivars in Iran

The main reasons for this perference are the absence of a dire...
متن کاملRice Breeding
This chapter deals with breeding aspects of one of the most important crops for food security in the world. Initially it shows how diverse rice is with 22 species, different levels of ploidy and six diversity groups. The choice of parents for crossing, when having such wide genetic diversity available, requires careful characterization and evaluation of the germplasm as well as good knowledge a...
متن کاملNew plant breeding techniques: prospects for the future
cience never stands still and the skill-set of plant breeders through the centuries proves the point. Especially during the last decade, several new plant breeding techniques (NPBTs) have been developed which now make it possible to perform genome modifications with an even greater degree of precision than was previously thought possible following earlier breakthroughs in producing genetically ...
متن کاملBreeding for Iron-dense Rice in Bangladesh
Fifty rice varieties collected under different categories from various sources were grown at the BRRI field during the 2001 transplant aman season ( July–November). Precautions were taken during harvest and processing to prevent mineral contamination. All samples were hand-pounded before being analyzed for iron and zinc content. The iron and zinc content varied considerably within the different...
