Book Synopsis The Potato Genome by : Swarup Kumar Chakrabarti
Download or read book The Potato Genome written by Swarup Kumar Chakrabarti. This book was released on 2017-12-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the historical importance of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.),potato genetic resources and stocks (including S. tuberosum group Phureja DM1-3 516 R44, a unique doubled monoploid homozygous line) used for potato genome sequencing. It also discusses strategies and tools for high-throughput sequencing, sequence assembly, annotation, analysis, repetitive sequences and genotyping-by-sequencing approaches. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.; 2n = 4x = 48) is the fourth most important food crop of the world after rice, wheat and maize and holds great potential to ensure both food and nutritional security. It is an autotetraploid crop with complex genetics, acute inbreeding depression and a highly heterozygous nature. Further, the book examines the recent discovery of whole genome sequencing of a few wild potato species genomes, genomics in management and genetic enhancement of Solanum species, new strategies towards durable potato late blight resistance, structural analysis of resistance genes, genomics resources for abiotic stress management, as well as somatic cell genetics and modern approaches in true-potato-seed technology. The complete genome sequence provides a better understanding of potato biology, underpinning evolutionary process, genetics, breeding and molecular efforts to improve various important traits involved in potato growth and development.

Book Synopsis Studies for the Genetic Engineering in Sweetpotato (Ipomoea Batatas L.) for Starch Bioconversion by :
Download or read book Studies for the Genetic Engineering in Sweetpotato (Ipomoea Batatas L.) for Starch Bioconversion written by . This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SANTA-MARIA, MONICA CECILIA. Studies for the Genetic Engineering of Sweetpotato for Starch Bioconversion. (Under the direction of Bryon Sosinski and William F. Thompson). Concerns over energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions have triggered interest in alternative, carbon-neutral, renewable energy sources. One alternative is biofuels for use in transportation. In the U.S., ethanol dominates the biofuel market and is mostly obtained from cornstarch. Due to sustainability concerns over extensive corn utilization, identification of alternative biofuel feedstocks is necessary. The high starch content in storage roots along with agronomical advantages make sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) and attractive biofuel feedstock in the southeast U.S. Industrial starch conversion to fermentable sugars involves a liquefaction step where starch is solubilized and partially hydrolyzed at high temperatures by a thermostable and thermoactive Î"--Amylase. Monomeric sugars are obtained during saccharification by further enzymatic activity. These enzymes are added to the starch mixture increasing overall process economics. To make starch processing more cost-effective, hyperthermophilic Î"-amylase from Thermotoga maritima was introduced into the sweetpotato genome to allow for starch self-processing at high temperatures. Hyperthermophilic Î"-amylase production was fist tested in tobacco cell cultures as model plant system. Functional enzyme was produced exhibiting enhanced thermostability, but otherwise identical biochemical properties compared to recombinant production in Escherichia coli. The enhanced stability of plant-made enzyme was due to intrinsically provided calcium in plant cells. This opened prospects of further cost reduction by eliminating need for calcium addition. The Tma Î"-amylase gene was then introduced into the sweetpotato genome by stable transformation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Starch in transgenic storage roots was readily hydrolyzed at 80°C, whi.

Book Synopsis Potato Improvement in the Post-Genomics Era by : Jagesh Tiwari
Download or read book Potato Improvement in the Post-Genomics Era written by Jagesh Tiwari. This book was released on 2022-12-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book delves into post-genomics advances in potato improvement since the potato genome sequencing in 2011. It includes recent developments in the field of potato genetic resources, genes and SNP markers discovery, and the progress in next-generation breeding applying various omics technologies and modern sequencing tools. It covers cutting-edge technologies in potato - a global perspective, genome sequencing and resequencing of various cultivated and wild species, potato germplasm management and characterization, prebreeding genomics, genome mapping and gene cloning, markers discovery, marker-assisted selection, transgenics, microRNAs, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phenomics, next-generation potato breeding technologies including genome editing and genomic selection and bioinformatics applications in the post-genomics era in potato. As genome editing and genomic selection have become emerging tools in crop improvement including potato, several research works have been demonstrated and applied world over. This book concentrates on genomics-aided characterization of germplasm and markers discovery to accelerate potato breeding. Further, various omics technologies strengthen our understanding on discovery of new genes/proteins/metabolites and key traits based on high-throughput phenotyping involved in various biotic and abiotic stresses in potato crop. The book is a useful source of information related to genomics-led research and development of this crop. It will serve as a valuable resource for potato researchers working in the area of molecular biology and would be beneficial for college students, PhD scholars, scientists, academicians, farmers and policy makers.
