Genetic analysis of abiotic stress tolerance in crops.
Abiotic stress tolerance is complex, but as phenotyping technologies improve, components that contribute to abiotic stress tolerance can be quantified with increasing ease. In parallel with these phenomics advances, genetic approaches with more complex genomes are becoming increasingly tractable as genomic information in non-model crops increases and even whole crop genomes can be re-sequenced....
متن کاملRice Genetic Improvement for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Africa
144 (eds M.C.S. Wopereis et al.) Crop and water management can be improved through efficient irrigation schemes, better infrastructure and hydrological control, and optimal use of fertilizers, which can alleviate some of the effects of abiotic stresses. These measures are effective in reducing yield losses, and most improved varieties are responsive to such measures, consequently stabilizing pr...
متن کاملCRISPR/Cas9 Mediated Genome Engineering for Improvement of Horticultural Crops
Horticultural crops are an important part of agriculture for food as well as nutritional security. However, several pests and diseases along with adverse abiotic environmental factors pose a severe threat to these crops by affecting their quality and productivity. This warrants the effective and accelerated breeding programs by utilizing innovative biotechnological tools that can tackle aforeme...
متن کاملSafety assessment of bacterial choline oxidase protein introduced in transgenic crops for tolerance against abiotic stress.
Genetically modified crops have resistance to abiotic stress by introduction of choline oxidase protein. In the present study, the safety of choline oxidase protein derived from Arthrobacter globiformis was assessed for toxicity and allergenicity. The protein was stable at 90 degrees C for 1 h. Toxicity studies of choline oxidase in mice showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) from control ...
متن کاملSomaclonal variations and their applications in horticultural crops improvement
The advancements made in tissue culture techniques has made it possible to regenerate various horticultural species in vitro as micropropagation protocols for commercial scale multiplication are available for a wide range of crops. Clonal propagation and preservation of elite genotypes, selected for their superior characteristics, require high degree of genetic uniformity amongst the regenerate...
