Book Synopsis The Quinoa Genome by : Sandra M. Schmöckel
Download or read book The Quinoa Genome written by Sandra M. Schmöckel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on quinoa, providing background information on its history, summarizing recent genetic and genomic advances, and offering directions for future research. Meeting the caloric and nutritional demands of our growing population will not only require increases in overall food production, but also the development of new crops that can be grown sustainably in agricultural environments that are increasingly susceptible to degradation. Quinoa is an ancient crop native to the Andean region of South America that has recently gained international attention because its seeds are high in protein, particularly in essential amino acids. Quinoa is also highly tolerant of abiotic stresses, including drought, frost and salinity. For these reasons, quinoa has the potential to help address issues of food security – a potential that was recognized when the United Nations declared 2013 the International Year of Quinoa. However, more effort is needed to improve quinoa agronomically and to understand the mechanisms of its abiotic stress tolerance; the recent development of genetic and genomic tools, including a reference genome sequence, will now help accelerate research in these areas.

Book excerpt: In recent years, consumers are concentrating more on the health benefits of food in order to preserve a healthy lifestyle and therefore becoming more aware of the relationship between diet and disease. This has resulted in a gradual shift from animal-derived to plant-based meals. Functional foods have turned into one of the rapidly expanding areas of the food industry due to the increasing awareness of consumers working to prevent lethal diseases like cancer, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Functional foods are seen as the food or food components that manifest efficiency in protecting from diseases and attaining a healthier lifestyle by administering additional benefits on human physiology and metabolic functions apart from basic nutritional requirements of the body. Cereals hold a prominent place in this new market. Cereals and cereal foods are important energy sources and many phytochemicals such as dietary fiber, resistant starch, vitamins, minerals, lignans, phytic acid and phenolic compounds that provide a variety of health benefits. Eating functional cereal foods is an easy method to increase nutrients associated with whole grains without changing eating habits. Functional Cereals and Cereal Foods: Properties, Functionality and Applications comprehensively covers the Chemistry and nutritional composition of functional cereals components, their functionality and therapeutic significance, current innovations and functional approaches in improving attributes and biofortification and quality improvement of cereal products. The different types of functional cereals and their unlimited opportunities for the production of functional foods are covered in full, including gluten-free products and all the newest cereal processing technologies. For researchers in search of a fully up-to-date look at functional cereal foods and technologies and their important place on the current market, this text provides a timely and comprehensive overview.

Download or read book Millets and Pseudo Cereals written by Mohar Singh and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millets and Pseudo Cereals is the first comprehensive resource to focus on the potential crop improvements through genetic enhancements. The choice of food crop for a region is primarily determined by the conditions of climate and soil. Once labelled as orphan crops, millets and pseudo-cereals are now known as miracle grains due to their adaptation to harsh conditions and high nutritional quality. Small millets and pseudo-cereals are now seen to occupy special niches through their ability to adapt to challenging conditions. These crops have a comparative advantage in marginal lands where they withstand stress conditions and contribute to sustainable production. They also contribute to the diversity-richness and production stability of agro-ecosystems. Millets include sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, barnyard millet, little millet and kodo millet while the other group which are not cereals but consumed as cereals and generally referred as pseudo-cereals comprises of grain amaranths, buckwheat and chenopods. Millets and Pseudo Cereals presents current information on the genetic architecture of important economic traits and the genomic resources for gene enabled breeding. This compilation contains information on the global status, available germplasm resources, nutritional value, breeding advancements, genomics applications and sustainability of agriculture through millets and pseudo-cereals cultivation. This book is a valuable resource for those conducting research and exploring new areas for advancing crop genetic understanding. Explores the current challenges of pseudo-cereal production and how that can be overcome by developing genetic and breeding resources using appropriate germplasm Provides holistic information on millets and pseudo-cereals Features global perspectives from an international contributing team of authors

Book Synopsis Identification and Expression Analyses of Genes Involved in Early Endosperm Development in Arabidopsis and Cereals by : Ming Li
Download or read book Identification and Expression Analyses of Genes Involved in Early Endosperm Development in Arabidopsis and Cereals written by Ming Li and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cereal seeds are important source for food, feed and also provide an industrial raw material. A sound understanding of seed initiation and the control of early endosperm development will be important for increasing cereal crop yield and improving grain quality using biotechnology. The approach taken in this project was to investigate the potential application of candidate genes and pathways for manipulating endosperm initiation and development. The candidate system chosen was the FIS class Polycomb group complex since there has been considerable work on the role of this complex in the transcriptional regulation of seed initiation and endosperm cellularization in Arabidopsis. The aims of the work described in this thesis were, first to identify and characterize novel proteins which directly interact with the known PcG members FIE and SWN. These two proteins play a key role in the regulation of endosperm proliferation in Arabidopsis. The second aim was to identify homologs from rice and Arabidopsis which potentially regulate grain size, weight and composition and to investigate the expression profiles and possible functions of these genes and isolate endosperm-specific promoters. Several novel plant PcG complex proteins from Arabidopsis were identified via yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screens. Several other interacting transcription factors of FIE were identified, including SWN (a.k.a. EZA1/SWINGER), AREB2 (ABA-responsive element binding factor 2), VPL (Viviparous-like) and ICE2 (Inducer of CBF Expression 2). Interacting partners of SWN were also isolated. These included AtRING-H2, an E3 type protein ubiquitin ligase, v-SNARE, and BrD (Bromodomain-containing protein), and a plant PHD finger-containing factor. The expression profile of these genes was studied using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in a series of Arabidopsis tissues prepared from wild type (WT) plants. Expression of these genes was also studied by using the predicted 5'-regulatory sequences of SWN, AtRING-H2, AREB2, VPL and ICE2 fused to GUS reporter gene and stably transformed into Arabidopsis. The expression pattern of each candidate was revealed by GUS assays. Results showed that the VPL promoter was specific to the male gamete, while the AtRING-H2 promoter was found to be male gametophyte- and seed-specific. In order to elucidate the functions of the key PcG partner SWN and its possible role in the regulation of seed initiation, T-DNA insertion lines were analyzed and gene knockdown constructs were developed. Seed development was disrupted by 50% in one SWN silencing line via dsRNAi. A preliminary study of the SWN silencing plant was carried out but further characterization is needed to uncover the role of SWN in seed development. Manipulation of endosperm development will be dependent on access to promoters specific to early endosperm development. Arabidopsis END1, a homolog of a barley endosperm marker gene was characterized in this project. AtEND1 was identified as a member from Arabidopsis lipid transfer protein family. This gene was specifically expressed in gametophytes and developing seeds during free nuclear division and endosperm cellularization. A number of seed-specific cis-acting elements were identified in the 5'-regulatory region of AtEND1. The promoter-GUS construct was also transformed into canola. A less specific expression pattern was observed in transgenic canola plants. Analyses of the transgenic plants in Arabidopsis and canola are presented. Three rice orthologs at END1 (OsPR602, OsPR9a and OsPRPI) were identified from database searches. The expression of these genes in rice was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Transcriptional GUS fusion constructs of the predicted promoter regions were transformed into rice and barley. Analyses of transgenic barley and rice plants were performed by using PCR screening, Southern blot hybridization and histological GUS assay. These genes were predominantly expressed in the developing rice endosperm. OsPR602 and OsPR9a showed similar spatial and temporal expression patterns in barley compared to their expressions in rice. Expression analysis found that OsPRPI directed gene expression in the vascular bundles of anthers, hulls and micropylar and chalazal poles of pistil shortly before and after anthesis and the vascular bundles of developing caryopses until 19 days after pollination in rice. There was no GUS expression in barley under the control of OsPRPI. The studies also revealed wounding-induced expression of this gene in the vascular traces of leaf blade, leaf sheath, stem and grains. The induction and expression level of OsPRPI was studied by northern blot analysis and qRT-PCR. These gene promoters will be useful tools in transgene research and in the manipulation of cereal grain yield, quality and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Book Synopsis Pseudocereals by : Claudia Monika Haros
Download or read book Pseudocereals written by Claudia Monika Haros and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to update knowledge and summarise recent research on pseudocereals, particularly regarding their botanical characteristics, composition, structure, use, production, technology and impact on human health. In the last few years, pseudocereals – in particular amaranth and quinoa – have acquired increased importance (which is also due to the increased demand for gluten ]free food). Worldwide, the demand for amaranth and quinoa has risen immensely, as seen in rising prices for amaranth and quinoa. At the same time, research in all relevant fields has intensified. At present there is some confusion surrounding the term ‘pseudocereals’ and what it does and does not include, for example kiwicha which is Amaranthus caudatus or kaniwa which is Chenopodium pallidicaule. Sometimes other grains are included in the pseudocereal group like chia (Salvia hispanica L), an oleaginous seed. One of the aims of the book is to clear up some of the confusion over what is included in the group of pseudocereals. The book will include: the origin, production and utilization of pseudocereals; structure and composition of kernels; carbohydrates/fibre/bioactive compounds of kernels; proteins and amino acids of kernels; lipids of kernels; pseudocereal dry and wet milling: processes, products and applications; food uses of whole pseudocereals; pseudocereals in gluten free products; and the nutritional and health implications of pseudocereal intake.

Book Synopsis Gene Pool Diversity and Crop Improvement by : Vijay Rani Rajpal
Download or read book Gene Pool Diversity and Crop Improvement written by Vijay Rani Rajpal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world population is estimated to reach to more than 10 billion by the year 2050. These projections pose a challenging situation for the agricultural scientists to increase crops productivity to meet the growing food demands. The unavailability and/or inaccessibility to appropriate gene pools with desired traits required to carry out genetic improvement of various crop species make this task formidable for the plant breeders. Incidentally, most of the desired genes reside in the wild genetic relatives of the crop species. Therefore, exploration and characterization of wild genetic resources of important crop species is vital for the efficient utilization of these gene pools for sustainable genetic improvements to assure food security. Further, understanding the myriad complexities of genic and genomic interactions among species, more particularly of wild relatives of crop species and/or phylogenetically distant germplasm, can provide the necessary inputs to increase the effectiveness of genetic improvement through traditional and/or genetic engineering methods. This book provides comprehensive and latest insights on the evolutionary genesis of diversity, access and its utilization in the evolution of various crop species. A comprehensive account of various crops, origin, exploitation of the primary, secondary and tertiary gene pools through breeding, biosystematical, cytogenetical and molecular phylogenetical relationships, and genetic enhancement through biotechnological interventions among others have been provided as the necessary underpinnings to consolidate information on the effective and sustainable utilization of the related genetic resources. The book stresses upon the importance of wild germplasm exploration, characterization and exploitation in the assimilation of important crop species. The book is especially intended for students and scientists working on the genetic improvement of crop species. Plant Breeders, Geneticists, Taxonomists, Molecular Biologists and Plant Biotechnologists working on crop species are going to find this book very useful.
