Abstract Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation, characterization utilization of germplasm resources 1 . So far, few chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) accessions have been characterized at the genome sequence level 2 Here we present a detailed map variation in 3,171 cultivated 195 wild to provide publicly available for genomics research breeding. We constructed pan-genome describe genomic diversity across its progenitor accessions. A divergence tree...
Farmers around the world have recently experienced significant crop losses due to severe heat and drought. Such extreme weather events need feed a rapidly growing population raised concerns for global food security. While plant breeding has been very successful delivered today's highly productive varieties, rate of genetic improvement must double meet projected future demands. Here we discuss basic principles features how modern technologies could efficiently be explored boost in face...
Plant breeding requires numerous generations to be cycled and evaluated before an improved cultivar is released. This lengthy process required introduce test multiple traits of interest. However, a technology for rapid generation advance named 'speed breeding' was successfully deployed in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) achieve six per year while imposing phenotypic selection foliar disease resistance grain dormancy. Here, the first time deployment this methodology presented durum Desf.)...
The optimal root system architecture (RSA) of a crop is context dependent and critical for efficient resource capture in the soil. Narrow growth angle promoting deeper often associated with improved access to water nutrients deep soils during terminal drought. RSA, therefore drought-adaptive trait that could minimise yield losses regions limited rainfall. Here, GWAS seminal (SRA) identified seven marker-trait associations clustered on chromosome 6A, representing major quantitative locus...
Sugarcane is a major industrial crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It primary source sugar worldwide, accounting for more than 70% world consumption. Additionally, sugarcane emerging as sustainable bioenergy. However, increase productivity from has been small compared to other crops, rate genetic gains current breeding programs tends be plateauing. In this review, some main contributors relatively slow rates gain are discussed, including (i) cycle length (ii)...
Interest in sustainability has increased significantly the wine sector past few years, driven by customer interest, as well impact of global warming-intensified weather extremes on growers. For a sustainable future industry must design its entire value chain such ways that it conserves and regenerates natural environment at same time promotes human rights, inclusion equality. The current paper identified five key challenges which have to be overcome order reach this goal: (1) climate change...
Roots, the hidden half of crop plants, are essential for resource acquisition. However, knowledge about genetic control below-ground plant development in wheat, one most important small-grain crops world, is very limited. The molecular interactions connecting root and shoot growth, thus modulating plant's demand water nutrients along with its ability to access them, largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that linkage drag European bread driven by strong selection a haplotype variant...
Genetic diversity represents the fundamental key to breeding success, providing basis for breeders select varieties with constantly improving yield performance. On other hand, strong selection during domestication and have eliminated considerable genetic in pools of major crops, causing erosion potential adaptation emerging challenges like climate change. High‐throughput genomic technologies can address this dilemma by detailed knowledge characterize replenish programs. In hexaploid bread...
Genomic selection (GS) has revolutionized breeding for quantitative traits in plants, offering potential to optimize resource allocation programs and increase genetic gain per unit of time. Modern high‐density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays comprising up several hundred thousand markers provide a user‐friendly technology characterize the constitution whole populations implementing GS programs. However, does not build upon detailed genotype profiling facilitated by maximum marker...
Conversion of SNP chip assays into locus-specific KASP markers requires adapted strategies in polyploid species with high genome homeology. Procedures are exemplified by QTL-associated SNPs hexaploid wheat. Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) commonly used marker-assisted commercial plant breeding due to their cost-effectiveness and throughput for sample volumes. However, conversion trait-linked from array-based detection technologies is particularly challenging crop species, the presence...
Non-additive genetic effects seem to play a substantial role in the expression of complex traits sugarcane. Including non-additive genomic prediction models significantly improves accuracy clonal performance. In recent decade, progress has been slow One reason might be that contribute substantially traits. Dense marker information provides opportunity exploit prediction. this study, series best linear unbiased (GBLUP) account for additive and were assessed improve The reproducible kernel...
