This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the recent progress on the applications of mutation breeding technology in crop plants. Plant breeders and agriculturists are faced with the new challenges of climate change, human population growth, and dwindling arable land and water resources which threaten to sustain food production worldwide. Genetic variation is the basis which plant breeders require to produce new and improved cultivars. The understanding of mutation induction and exploring its applications has paved the way for enhancing genetic variability for various plant and agronomic characters, and led to advances in gene discovery for various traits. Induced mutagenesis has played a significant role in crop improvement and currently, the technology has resulted in the development and release of more than 3600 mutant varieties in most of the crop plants with great economic impact. The field of ‘mutation breeding’ has come long way to become an important approach for crop improvement. This book covers various methodologies of mutation induction, screening of mutants, genome editing and genomics advances and mutant gene discovery. The book further discusses success stories in different countries and applications of mutation breeding in food crops, horticultural plants and plantation crops. This informative book is very useful to plant breeders, students and researchers in the field of agriculture, plant sciences, food science and genetics.

Download or read book Leveraging Evolution to Understand Genetic Load in Cassava (manihot Esculenta) written by Evan Long and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a root crop that serves as an important caloric source for many tropical regions of the world. Cassava was domesticated 5k-10k years ago where it transitioned from being a perennial, outcrossing species to a crop grown as an annual or biannual and is propagated clonally through stem cuttings. Breeding efforts in cassava are hindered by high levels of inbreeding depression and limited sexual reproductive ability. Genetic load due to the accumulation of underlying deleterious mutations has been hypothesized as an underlying cause for these difficulties. In recent years genomic selection has been adopted as a strategy to accelerate genetic gain and quickly purge genetic load. Obtaining accurate and consistent genotype data across thousands of cassava clones is necessary to more effectively implement genomic selection strategies. Genomic selection uses genome-wide markers to predict plant performance to accelerate genetic gain, by reducing time and money to evaluate every cross. Genotype imputation, a method of obtaining genome-wide variants from limited sequence, has been hindered in cassava due to its high levels of heterozygosity. The first section of this project concerns the creation of a Practical Haplotype Graph (PHG) in cassava to improve genotype imputation in cassava, which in turn can enable more effective genomic selection strategies. Centuries of limited sexual recombination, selection cannot effectively purge recessive deleterious mutations, which may be responsible for observed genetic load in cassava. This work aims to understand these deleterious mutations and evaluate the prospect of incorporating them into improvement of cassava. With accurate genotypes and knowledge of deleterious impact of specific mutations, breeders and researchers will be able to more effectively improve genetic gain in cassava. Millions of years of selection and evolution can reveal what regions of a genome are functionally important and what mutations may be deleterious. I sequenced and assembled 27 plant species that, like cassava, belong to the Euphorbiaceae family. Using comparative genomics with these and other publicly available genome data, I analyzed evolutionary conservation across 53 species. By looking at selection signatures in cassava through evolutionary conservation, I discovered genes responsible for effective sexual reproduction to have an abundance of functional mutation in cassava suggesting a relaxation of selection compared to the rest of the Euphorbiaceae family. Derived alleles at conserved regions of the genome were then used to identify putative deleterious mutation contributing to genetic load. These mutations were found to be negatively correlated with fitness related traits in cassava and were additionally validated through incorporation in genomic prediction scenarios. This dissertation summarizes the efforts made to uncover the source and effects of genetic load in cassava by leveraging millions of years of evolutionary signal.

This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application of Mutation Breeding Methods in the Improvement of Vegetatively Propagated Crops: An Interpretive Literature Review summarizes advances in the use of artificially induced mutations to improve cultivated plants, particularly those that are vegetatively propagated. It brings together all available and accessible references that examine the advantages, drawbacks, and possibilities of the mutation breeding method, as well as the challenges that prevent it from being applied to various crops. Comprised of eight chapters, this volume begins with an overview of various aspects of mutagenic treatment using chemical and physical mutagens. It then discusses the structure and functioning of shoot apices and their behavior after irradiation; adventitious bud techniques and other in vivo or in vitro methods of asexual propagation; and breeding of root and tuber crops, such as cassava and potato, ornamental crops such as foliage plants and cut flowers, fruit crops, and other crops. Plant breeders who want to better understand how to apply mutation breeding to their crops will find this book extremely helpful.

Download or read book Applied Mutation Breeding for Vegetatively Propagated Crops written by C. Broertjes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first edition of this book appeared in 1978, it was warmly received. Most readers and reviewers especially valued the extensive coverage of the literature in the chapters dealing with the different crops. ``... a valuable and timely addition to plant breeders and of outstanding value to breeders of ornamental plants. The book's special strength resides in the extensive review of literature ...'' (International Journal for Breeding Research). This is also reflected by the many times that the work has been referred to in other publications.This new edition provides plant breeders as well as scientists with an up-to-date overview of methods and results of the application of mutation breeding in order to genetically improve vegetatively propagated crops. General principles and background information about mutation breeding in general, methods of treatment, material to be treated and results are discussed in the introductory chapters, followed by a description of the specific situation in each of the vegetatively propagated crops ever used in a mutation breeding project.This volume brings together all the important and relevant literature in the field. It provides a complete account of mutation breeding of vegetatively produced crops, presenting conclusions about the value of the method, its possibilities, limitations and shortcomings and the possible difficulties of further application in various crops. The initial chapters deal with the interactions between mutagenic treatment and plant material, such as aspects of mutagenic treatment, post-irradiation behaviour of shoot apices and adventitious bud techniques. All available literature is then discussed crop by crop and critically evaluated. Almost 1700 references are covered and whenever possible suggestions for more efficient application of mutation breeding methods are given.
