heirlooms in search of the fifth ecology
… unsustainable system. Technological advances in plant genetics have fueled large scale-crop production, and a race to control one of our most important resources, seeds. In the shadows, agro-chemical companies have amassed considerable control over the seed industry. Their efforts have resulted …

Development of microsatellite (SSR) marker multiplexes for future construction of a genetic linkage map for pear (Pyrus communis L.)
Recent advances in the field of plant genetics and application of molecular technologies has lead to greater understanding of various crop genomes and their organization.The applications of these techniques include molecular markers which have been used to examine DNA variation within crop species. …

Catalytic Upgrading of Lignin From Biomass
… how the biosynthetic production of lignin in the plant ultimately dictates the possible products that can be made through catalytic upgrading. To better elucidate the relationship between plant genetics and lignin structure, we developed a high-throughput RCF process, which will enable a …

A Computer Vision Tool For Use in Horticultural Research
… more horticultural research. While research into plant genetics has seen an increased throughput from recent technological advancements, plant phenotypic research throughput has lagged behind. Improvements in open-source image processing software and image capture hardware have created an …

3D machine vision system for robotic weeding and plant phenotyping
… system should be capable of differentiating crop plants and weeds to avoid contaminating crops with herbicide or damaging them with mechanical tools. For the plant genetics industry, automated high-throughput phenotyping technology is critical to profiling seedlings at a large scale to facilitate …

Understanding Zea mays genetic influence on the structure and function of the rhizosphere microbiome
Assembly of the plant rhizosphere microbiome is driven by plant genetic and evolutionary history. Plant microbiomes play a major role in altering plant resilience, fitness, nutrition, and productivity. Plant hosts selectively filter microorganisms that colonize their rhizosphere. This selective …

Three studies in marker-assisted plant breeding
… further our understanding of marker-assisted plant breeding and plant genetics. First, we fine-map a recessive Mendelian mutation in maize which confers reduced leaf area, rdla, to a 153-Kb region on chromosome 4 with a mapping-by-sequencing approach. We find that the rdla mutation reduces …

Assessment of genetic variations within and between populations of Marama Bean (Tylosema Esculentum (Burchell) Schreiber) based on Microsatellites (SSRS) and Intergenic spacer length variation markers in the Namibian germplasm
Tylosema esculentum (Burchell) L. Schreiber is a herbaceous perennial drought tolerant legume that is endemic to the arid and semi-arid zones of southern Africa. Its agronomic potential is on the basis of its seed's nutritional composition that is comparable with soybean and peanut, the two mostly …

Forward genetic analysis of cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor resistance and wall hydrolysis sensitivity.
… cell wall assembly and structure in plants. We conducted screens using the herbicides, isoxaben and flupoxam which inhibit cellulose biosynthesis in higher plants. Mutations resulting in a high degree of resistance to isoxaben (ixr) or flupoxam (fxr) were attributed to single amino …

Identification, isolation, expression analysis and molecular characterization of nine genes key to late embryogenesis in Loblolly pine
… for late embryonic development in the model plant system Arabidopsis thaliana. These genes were subsequently isolated and cloned from Loblolly pine embryos. These isolated clones were sequenced and analyzed to reveal significant homology to the known Arabidopsis ABA responsive genes ABI3, …

Genome composition of Glycine max and sequence diversity among cultivated and exotic accessions
… the nutritional quality of low cost and plant-based diets. Therefore an enormous amount of effort has gone into increasing the yield and nutritional quality of soybeans through plant breeding over hundreds of years. Despite this economic and nutritional importance the soybean genome was …

IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GENETIC LOCI FOR CULM MORPHOLOGY TRAITS IN BARLEY (HORDEUM VULGARE L.)
… it has been widely used as a model species in plant genetics and breeding. Stem lodging is a major constraint to yield potential and grain quality in barley. Since the Green Revolution, height reduction has been the main target in breeding to overcome lodging occurrence. However, negative …

QTL Mapping of Panicle Architecture and Yield-Related Traits Between Two U.S. Rice Cultivars 'LaGrue' and 'Lemont'
… yield components such as number of panicles/plant, number of tillers/plant, and number of seeds/panicle. Panicle architecture is an important yield trait yield as the number of seeds on a panicle greatly contributes to the overall panicle yield. A QTL analysis and mapping study on panicle …
