Book excerpt: Plant breeding is the art and science of changing the genetics of plants (genetic constitution) in order to produce superior cultivars harbouring desired characteristics. The continuous development and application of plant biotechnology complemented with genomics resulted in the development of new tools which can be used for creation, analysis, and manipulation of genetic variation leading to improved varieties. These advances paved the way for molecular plant breeding, which is becoming the standard practice in many agricultural and horticultural crop breeding programs. In terms of selection strategies, molecular breeding has experienced two major developmental stages; marker-assisted selection and genomic selection. In this study, phenotypic selection (PS), marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) were compared with the aim to obtain insight in selection strategies which can be applied in a breeding program. The selection strategies were compared using simulated data on a bi-parental cross as starting point. Selection was subsequently carried out till F5 generation on the basis of six traits using pedigree based selection and mass selection. Results showed that for the genetically simple trait PS and GS performed better than MS, for high and low heritability settings. For genetically moderate to complex traits MS performed better than PS and GS, for high and low heritability settings.

Book Synopsis Smart Plant Breeding for Field Crops in Post-genomics Era by : Devender Sharma

Download or read book Smart Plant Breeding for Field Crops in Post-genomics Era written by Devender Sharma. This book was released on 2023-04-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book emphasizes on cutting-edge next-generation smart plant breeding approaches for maximizing the use of genomic resources generated by high-throughput genomics in the post-genomic era. Through this book the readers would learn about the recent development in the genomic approaches such as genotype by sequencing (GBS) for genomic analysis (SNPs, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism), whole-genome re-sequencing (WGRS) and RNAseq for transcriptomic analysis (DEGs, Differentially Expressed Genes). To maximize the genetic gains in the cereal/food crops, the book covers topics on transgenic breeding, genome editing, high-throughput phenotyping, reliable/precision phenotyping and genomic information-based analysis. In the era of climate change and the ever-increasing population, food security and nutritional security are the primary concern of plant breeders, growers, and policymakers to address the UN’s sustainable development goals. Chapters of this book cohere around these goals and covers techniques such as (QTL mapping, association studies, candidate gene identification), omics, RNAi [through micro RNA (miRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA) and artificial micro RNA (amiRNA)]. It also covers other genomic techniques like antisense technology, genome editing (CRISPR/cas9, base editing) and epigenomics that assist the crop improvement programmes to fulfil the UNs sustainable development goals. It explores the influence of rapidly available sequencing data assisting in the next generation breeding programmes. This volume is a productive resource for the students, researchers, scientists, teachers, public and private sector stakeholders involved in the genetic enhancement of cereal crops.

Book excerpt: This book dispenses a comprehensive coverage of up-to-date account of genomics and genome editing enriched smart plant breeding approaches for enhancing genetic gains in vegetable crops in the post-genomics era. The main focus of the present volume is to illuminate the applications of new techniques evolved in the post-genomics era. The techniques covered are high-throughput sequencing of DNA and RNA, genome editing, epigenetics and epigenomics, genotype by sequencing (GBS), QTL-seq and RNA-seq for transcriptome analysis. Vegetables are the important component of healthy diet, source of energy and hold a promising position in building up a strong immunity. Zero hunger and attaining the food and nutritional security is the top priority of United Nations development goals. Smart breeding of food and vegetable crops to fight the challenges ahead in sustainable manner by keeping the harmony with nature is an important approach to fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). This edited book highlights the modern results in smart vegetable breeding in the post genomics era and forecasts crucial areas of future needs. It is an important reference for the, readers, students, researchers, scientists in academia and research industries to provide them comprehensive information of innovative approaches for crop improvement in the post-genomics era and in the era of and climate change. Even the readers, academia, social activists, and others fond of reading will get a fair idea of journey travelled so far and future roadmap for fighting the challenges ahead to meet the sustainable development goals.
