Download or read book The Peanut Genome written by Rajeev K. Varshney and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the current state of the art in peanut genomics, focusing particularly on the latest genomic findings, tools and strategies employed in genome sequencing, transcriptomes and analysis, availability of public and private genomic resources, and ways to maximize the use of this information in peanut breeding programs. Further, it demonstrates how advances in plant genomics can be used to improve crop breeding. The peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L. Millsp) is a globally important grain legume and oilseed crop, cultivated in over 100 countries and consumed in the form of roasted seeds, oil and confectionary in nearly every country on Earth. The peanut contributes towards achieving food and nutritional security, in addition to financial security through income generation; as such, it is also vital to the livelihood of the poor in the developing world. There have been significant advances in peanut research, especially in the last five years, including sequencing the genome of both diploid progenitors, and the availability of tremendous transcriptome resources, large-scale genomic variations that can be used as genetic markers, genetic populations (bi- and multiparent populations and germplasm sets), marker-trait associations and molecular breeding products. The immediate availability of the genome sequence for tetraploid cultivated peanuts is the most essential genomic resource for achieving a deeper understanding of peanut traits and their use in breeding programs.

Download or read book Allele Mining for Genomic Designing of Oilseed Crops written by Chittaranjan Kole and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-09-18 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deliberates on the concept, strategies, tools, and techniques of allele mining in oilseed crops and its application potential in genome elucidation and improvement, including studying allele evolution, discovery of superior alleles, discerning new haplotypes, assessment of intra- and interspecific similarity, and studies of gene expression and gene prediction. Available gene pools in global germplasm collections, specifically consisting of wild allied species and local landraces for almost all major crops, have facilitated allele mining. The development of advanced genomic techniques, including PCR-based allele priming and Eco-TILLING-based allele mining, is now widely used for mining superior alleles. Allele's discovery has become more relevant now for employing molecular breeding to develop designed crop varieties matching consumer needs and with genome plasticity to adapt to climate change scenarios. All these concepts and strategies, along with precise success stories, are presented in the chapters dedicated to the major oilseed crops. 1. This is the first book on the novel strategy of allele mining in oilseed crops for precise breeding. 2. This book presents genomic strategies for mining superior alleles underlying agronomic traits from genomic resources. 3. This book depicts case studies of PCR-based allele priming and Eco-TILLING based allele mining. 4. This book elaborates on gene discovery and gene prediction in major oilseed crops. This book will be useful to students and faculties in various plant science disciplines, including genetics, genomics, molecular breeding, agronomy, and bioinformatics; scientists in seed industries; and policymakers and funding agencies interested in crop improvement.

Download or read book Accelerated Plant Breeding Volume 4 written by Satbir Singh Gosal and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant improvement has shifted its focus from yield, quality and disease resistance to factors that will enhance commercial export, such as early maturity, shelf life and better processing quality. Conventional plant breeding methods aiming at the improvement of a self-pollinating crop usually take 10-12 years to develop and release of the new variety. During the past 10 years, significant advances have been made and accelerated methods have been developed for precision breeding and early release of crop varieties. This book focuses on the accelerated breeding technologies that have been adopted for major oil crops. It summarizes concepts dealing with germplasm enhancement and development of improved varieties based on innovative methodologies that include doubled haploidy, marker assisted selection, marker assisted background selection, genetic mapping, genomic selection, high-throughput genotyping, high-throughput phenotyping, mutation breeding, reverse breeding, transgenic breeding, shuttle breeding, speed breeding, low cost high-throughput field phenotyping, etc. This edited volume is therefore an excellent reference on accelerated development of improved crop varieties.
Download or read book Cash Crops written by P.M. Priyadarshan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cash crops are grown and sold for monetary gain and not necessarily for sustenance. They include coffee, tea, coconut, cotton, jute, groundnut, castor, linseed, cocoa, rubber, cassava, soybean, sweet potato, potato, wheat, corn and teff. While some of these crops have been improved for realizing yield potential, breeding of many of them is still in infancy. Crops that underwent rigorous breeding have eventually lost much of the diversity due to extensive cultivation with a few improved varieties and the diversity in less bred species is to be conserved. Over the past years, scholars and policy makers have become increasingly aware of the short and long-run impact of climatic factors on economic, food security, social and political outcomes . Genetic diversity, natural and induced, is much needed for the future generations to sustain food production with more climate resilient crops. In contrast, crop uniformity produced across the farm fields in the form of improved varieties is genetically vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, it is essential and challenging to address the issue of compromising between maximizing crop yield under a given set of conditions and minimizing the risk of crop failure when conditions change. Cash crops are grown in an array of climatic conditions. Many of the world’s poor still live in rural areas. Many are subsistence farmers, operating very small farms using very little agricultural inputs for achieving marketable outputs. Conserving the diversity of these crops and addressing all issues of crop culture through modern tools of biotechnology and genomics is a real challenge. We believe the focus of this book is to fill an unmet need of this and other grower communities by providing the necessary knowledge, albeit indirectly via the academics, to manage the risks of cash crops breeding through managing genetic diversity.
Download or read book Whole Genome Re sequencing of Cultivated Peanut to Enable Genetic and Genomic Resources for Improvement written by Martha Carolina Chavarro Fierro and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genotyping of genetically structured populations, such as recombinant inbred lines (RILs), plays a key role in molecular breeding of crop plants by linking genetic markers to traits of interest. In peanut, genotyping has evolved at a slow pace due to the challenges of doing genetics in an allotetraploid species. Peanut has two highly similar subgenomes which complicates the discovery of genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as most variation is between subgenomes, not between alleles at a locus. Furthermore, peanut is a segmental allopolyploid, that is, it has both disomic and tetrasomic inheritance, complicating even further the development of molecular markers and associating them with targeted traits. Whole genome re-sequencing was performed for 20 peanut genotypes carrying traits of interest to identify SNPs for genotyping several breeding populations and genotypes of interest. Based on the identified SNPs from the sequencing, a SNP array containing 58,233 SNPs was constructed and used for genotyping. Twenty-three samples including parents of nested association mapping populations (NAM) were genotyped. From this, 11,633 SNPs markers were found to be polymorphic among all the samples of interest and 8,999 SNPs were polymorphic for the parents of a nested association mapping (NAM) panel. Furthermore, a RIL population from the cross between Tifrunner x NC 3033 was genotyped using the SNP array to identify polymorphic markers for saturation of a genetic map and QTL identification of seed and pod traits. This population was used for mapping as the parents contrast for many seed and pod filling traits. The linkage map included 1,524 markers in 29 linkage groups, and forty-nine QTLs were identified including 8 major QTLs with phenotypic effects higher than 20%. To confirm the segmental allopolyploid nature of cultivated peanut, the genotypic data from the RIL populations was used to identify locations in the genome where tetrasomic recombination has taken place. Whole genome re-sequencing of the parents and two RILs of the population was performed to confirm and provide more granularity of the tetrasomic events. This research provides new tools for the understanding of the evolution and domestication of peanut and for molecular improvement.

Download or read book Genetic and Genomic Resources of Grain Legume Improvement written by H. Thomas Stalker and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genus Arachis has 80 diploid, aneuploid and tetraploid species that have been separated into nine sections. The cultivated peanut Arachis hypogaea L. is an allotetraploid that originated from the two diploids in section Arachis, and there has been no apparent introgression from related wild species since its origin. Systematic acquisition of wild and cultivated species began in the 1960s and has resulted in large collections of both Arachis species and A. hypogaea. However, additional germplasm is needed to fill in gaps for several A. hypogaea botanical varieties, and large areas in South America remain unexplored for Arachis species. The cultivated germplasm collection has been evaluated for several diseases, but many useful traits have not been assessed in the germplasm collections. Significantly higher levels of disease and insect resistances are found in the Arachis species, but introgression is difficult and very slow due to ploidy and genomic differentiation. Progress has been made in recent years for utilizing wild species genetic resources, including development of several cultivars.
