Development of a transposon-based marker system for mutation breeding in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.).
Under certain circumstances, transposable elements (TE) can create or reverse mutations and alter the genome size of a cell. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is promising for plant transposon tagging due to its small genome size and its low content of repetitive DNA. We developed a marker system based on targeted region amplification polymorphisms (TE-TRAP) that uses the terminal inverted repeats (...
متن کاملGenotypic variation in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] exotic germplasm collections for drought and disease tolerance
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grain yield is severely affected by abiotic and biotic stresses during post-flowering stages, which has been aggravated by climate change. New parental lines having genes for various biotic and abiotic stress tolerances have the potential to mitigate this negative effect. Field studies were conducted under irrigated and dryland conditions with 128 exotic ge...
متن کاملGenomics-assisted breeding for drought tolerance in chickpea
Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), causing more than 50% production losses. With the objective of accelerating genetic understanding and crop improvement through genomicsassisted breeding, a draft genome sequence has been assembled for the CDC Frontier variety. In this context, 544.73Mb of sequence data were assembled, capturing of 73.8% of the ge...
متن کاملBreeding for Drought Tolerance in Cereals: an Overview
Drought is among the most serious abiotic stresses in many parts of the world where cereal crops are essential human food source. Breeding cereals for such stress tolerance is strongly challenging the breeders’ efforts where difficulties are compounded by the complexity of crop yield on the genetic and physiological bases. For cereal plants, drought tends to develop slowly under field condition...
متن کاملBreeding Maize for Drought Tolerance in the US Corn-Belt
The objective of this review is to promote discussion on some of the key issues we consider to be involved in successful long-term genetic improvement of corn for drought tolerance. Many of the concepts have been discussed elsewhere for different crops, traits and different breeding targets. Here we focus on how to organize a comprehensive effort to enable breeding for drought tolerance in a he...
