This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our lives and well being intimately depend on the exploitation of the plant genetic resources available to our breeding programs. Therefore, more extensive exploration and effective exploitation of plant genetic resources are essential prerequisites for the release of improved cultivars. Accordingly, the remarkable progress in genomics approaches and more recently in sequencing and bioinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for mining germplasm collections, mapping and cloning loci of interest, identifying novel alleles and deploying them for breeding purposes. This book collects 48 highly interdisciplinary articles describing how genomics improves our capacity to characterize and harness natural and artificially induced variation in order to boost crop productivity and provide consumers with high-quality food. This book will be an invaluable reference for all those interested in managing, mining and harnessing the genetic richness of plant genetic resources.

Book excerpt: Maize (Zea mays L.) plays a significant role in human nutrition and animal feed. After the discovery of opaque-2 mutants in maize, that produces with enhanced levels of lysine and tryptophan. Quality protein maize (QPM) holds superior nutritional value and is essentially exchangeable with normal maize. The increasing use of maize as feed, increasing interest of the consumers in nutritionally enriched products and rising demand for maize seed are the core driving forces behind emerging importance of maize crop in India. Protein malnutrition is a serious global issue demanding huge resources on healthcare. The problem can be addressed to a considerable extent by shifting to quality protein maize diet. The development of QPM hybrids through advanced breeding approach like molecular marker-assisted breeding was adopted. It could solve the issue related to protein deficiency in developing countries.

Book excerpt: Quality protein maize (QPM) is a high-lysine maize type that was developed through breeding, to improve its grain hardness and agronomic performance. Despite QPM's nutritional advantage, this maize type has not been widely adopted mainly due to lack of a commercial market and probably because the functionality of its prolamin protein (zein) are largely unknown. In this study, zein extracted from white QPM was characterised. Its functional properties concerning the formation of bioplastic films, viscoelastic masses "doughs"℗+ and gels were investigated and compared to "total"℗+ zein from a related regular white Ethiopian maize, total zein from regular white South African maize and commercial zein. Amino acid analysis and SDS-PAGE confirmed that QPM had high lysine, cysteine and I♯2℗đ-zein contents. Bioplastic films were prepared from the zeins by casting from aqueous ethanol and from glacial acetic acid (GAA). QPM zein films were more opaque compared to other zein films cast from the same solvent. The opaqueness was attributed to the partial solubility of QPM zein when dissolved in the casting solvents. During preparation of viscoelastic masses, zein preparations were either mixed with a solvent (water or acetic acid) or coacervated from solution in GAA (simple coacervation). Neither QPM zein nor total zein preparations from regular maize formed viscoelastic masses. Possibly, the presence of I♯2℗ø- or I♯2℗đ-subclasses hindered interaction of I♯2℗ł-zein with the solvent, unlike with commercial zein (predominantly I♯2℗ł-zein) which formed viscoelastic masses with water and 5.4% acetic acid treatments. Interestingly, QPM zein formed a viscous mass when the prolamin was dissolved in GAA during coacervation. Hence, the firmness of the zeins was further investigated. It was thought that different levels of I♯2℗ø- and I♯2℗đ-prolamins would contribute to gelation. Therefore, total kafirin, kafirin without I♯2℗ø-kafirin and kafirin without I♯2℗đ-kafirin preparations were used as controls. Compression testing showed that only total kafirin formed a true gel because its maximum compression force was the highest (9.61 N), compared to other zein and kafirin preparations (

This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) with high levels of lysine and tryptophan in grain has opened ways of using maize to supply the two essential amino acids. Being developed by combining the genetic system of opaque-2 gene and o2 endosperm modifiers, it was not well understood how nitrogen and water deficiencies could affect its characteristics. This study was undertaken to know the influence of N and water stresses on gene action and the effects of genotypes x environments interaction in QPM. It was found that N and water deficiencies influenced the gene action and suppressed the action of o2 endosperm modifiers making QPM to revert partially or totally to o2 maize state. This may have negative consequences on cultivation of QPM in nitrogen and water stress prone regions."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of superior crops that have consistent performance in quality and in quantity has not received the same emphasis in the field of genetics and breeding as merited. Specialty trait requires special focus to propagate. Yet basic germplasm and breeding methodologies optimized to improve crops are often applied in the development of improved specialty types. However, because of the standards required for specialty traits, methods of development and improvement are usually more complex than those for common commodity crops. The same standards of performance are desired, but the genetics of the specialty traits often impose breeding criteria distinct from those of non-specialty possessing crops. Specifically, quality improvement programs have unique characteristics that require careful handling and monitoring during their development for specific needs. Adding value either via alternative products from the large volumes of grain produced or development of specialty types is of interest to producers and processors. This work assimilates the most topical results about quality improvement with contemporary plant breeding approaches.The objective of this book is to provide a summary of the germplasm, methods of development, and specific problems involved for quality breeding. In total, fourteen chapters, written by leading scientists involved in crop improvement research, provide comprehensive coverage of the major factors impacting specialty crop improvement.
