The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project set out improve the diversity, quantity, and accessibility of germplasm collections crop wild relatives (CWR). Between 2013 2018, partners in 25 countries, heirs globetrotting legacy Nikolai Vavilov, undertook seed collecting expeditions targeting CWR 28 crops global significance for agriculture. Here, we describe implementation national programs present key results. A total 4587 unique samples from at least 355 taxa were collected,...
Consistent with reports on other plants we recently reported that a potato transgenic line (AT010901) overexpressing sCAX1 show classic symptoms of calcium deficiency shoot tip injury, leaf curling, margin necrosis and tuber internal defects such as hollow heart brown spots. The present study was undertaken to quantify in various fraction tissues this wild type clones understand the development these at normal nutrition (1mM) its mitigation higher (10mM). Plants were grown controlled...
Recent studies show that overexpression of a short version the cation exchanger 1 gene ( sCAX1 ) can cause Ca 2+ deficiency symptoms in tomato Solanum lycopersicum L.). However, relation to this has not been investigated potato tuberosum The objective our study was investigate production known . Plantlets S. cultivar ‘Atlantic’ overexpressing were produced using Agrobacterium tumefaciens Transgenic plants grown with normal amounts under vitro or greenhouse conditions showed such as shoot...
Abstract Common scab, calcium deficiency, and internal tuber defects, such as hollow heart, have severe negative impact on the marketable yield profitability of potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) farmers. The present study was conducted to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling these traits. A tetraploid linkage map constructed using 808 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from SolCAP 8300 Infinium Potato Array 151 genotypes an F 1 population generated a cross between cultivars with...
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are important sources of novel genes, due to their high variability response biotic and abiotic stresses, which can be invaluable for crop genetic improvement programs. Recent studies have shown that CWRs threatened by several factors, including changes in land-use climate change. A large proportion underrepresented genebanks, making it necessary take action ensure long-term ex situ conservation. With this aim, 18 targeted collecting trips were conducted during...
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a crop of global importance that has center origin in Peru, with 11 species wild relatives (CWR) occurring the country. These CWR contain genetic material could be used to improve currently cultivated species, and usually stored ex situ germplasm banks. Hence, assessing representativeness banks important strengthen improvement tomatoes as well their resilience globally changing conditions. Here, we gap analysis methodology on tomato Peru. This consists seven...
Abstract Early and prompt detection of banana wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), causing global crop losses is crucial to curtail the disease spread, minimize damage implement quarantine measures. We report first successfully developed DNA Endonuclease Targeted CRISPR Trans Reporter (DETECTR) assay for highly sensitive specific Foc TR4, validated across several isolates. Notably, crRNA spacer sequences recombinant polymerase amplification (RPA)...
