Download or read book Functional Genomic Characterization of Fruit Quality Traits in Apple (Malus X Demostica Borkh.) written by Claudius Marondedze and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.), belonging to the Malus genus of the Rosaceae family, is one of the edible pomaceous fruits. Since it is one of the important commercial fruit crops worldwide, the quality of the fruit is crucial to breeders and farmers as it ultimately determines acceptance of a cultivar for consumption. Fruit quality is also a critical determinant factor that is used to estimate the potential of apples to have a long shelf life. The introduction of marker-assisted selection (MAS) has allowed hastening of traditional breeding and selection of high-quality apple cultivars. The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.), belonging to the Malus genus of the Rosaceae family, is one of the edible pomaceous fruits. Since it is one of the important commercial fruit crops worldwide, the quality of the fruit is crucial to breeders and farmers as it ultimately determines acceptance of a cultivar for consumption. Fruit quality is also a critical determinant factor that is used to estimate the potential of apples to have a long shelf life. The introduction of marker-assisted selection (MAS) has allowed hastening of traditional breeding and selection of high-quality apple cultivars. The availability of genetic linkage maps, constructed by positioning molecular markers throughout the apple genome, enables the detection and analysis of major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) contributing to the quality traits of a given genotype. herefore, the primary aim of this study was to construct a genetic linkage map of the Golden Delicious x Dietrich population for the identification of QTLs associated with fruit quality traits and then to examine the apple fruit pulp proteome with a specific focus on fruit firmness. In this regard, genomic DNA was extracted from leaves of the Golden Delicious x Dietrich population and used in megaplex PCR reactions. The PCR products were analysed prior to scoring of alleles. Polymorphic markers were then used to construct genetic linkage maps. The genetic linkage maps constructed in this study comprise of 167 simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers, 33 of these were newly developed markers...

Download or read book Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling the Requirement for Chilling in Vegetative Budbreak in Apple (Malus X Domestica Borkh.) written by Maria Magdalena Van Dyk and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) has been distributed into diverse climatic conditions worldwide for comercial producation of fruit. Apple trees need exposure to cold temperatures, referred to as chill unit (CU) accumulation during winter, in order for budbreak to occur promptly and uniformly after winter. In the Western Cape region of South Africa it is common orchard practice to apply dormancy breaking chemicals after winter in order to stimulate vegetative growth. Increasing demands for the growing of organic food crops have stimulated an international tendency towards research concentrating on the identification of genes responsible for a variety of disease resistance traits. The aim of this study was to construct genetic linkage maps, using published and newly developed SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) markers, and to use these in order to identify regions of the genome that contain putative QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci) involved in the regualtion of IVB (Initial Vegetative Budbreak).

Book excerpt: A major new book overturning our assumptions about how evolution works Earth’s natural history is full of fascinating instances of convergence: phenomena like eyes and wings and tree-climbing lizards that have evolved independently, multiple times. But evolutionary biologists also point out many examples of contingency, cases where the tiniest change—a random mutation or an ancient butterfly sneeze—caused evolution to take a completely different course. What role does each force really play in the constantly changing natural world? Are the plants and animals that exist today, and we humans ourselves, inevitabilities or evolutionary flukes? And what does that say about life on other planets? Jonathan Losos reveals what the latest breakthroughs in evolutionary biology can tell us about one of the greatest ongoing debates in science. He takes us around the globe to meet the researchers who are solving the deepest mysteries of life on Earth through their work in experimental evolutionary science. Losos himself is one of the leaders in this exciting new field, and he illustrates how experiments with guppies, fruit flies, bacteria, foxes, and field mice, along with his own work with anole lizards on Caribbean islands, are rewinding the tape of life to reveal just how rapid and predictable evolution can be. Improbable Destinies will change the way we think and talk about evolution. Losos's insights into natural selection and evolutionary change have far-reaching applications for protecting ecosystems, securing our food supply, and fighting off harmful viruses and bacteria. This compelling narrative offers a new understanding of ourselves and our role in the natural world and the cosmos.

Download or read book Breeding strategies for sustainable forage and turf grass improvement written by Susanne Barth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 4th – 8th of September 2011, the Eucarpia Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section, held its 29th Meeting in the surroundings of Dublin Castle in Ireland. The theme of the meeting was ‘Breeding strategies for sustainable forage and turf grass improvement’. Grasslands cover a significant proportion of the land mass of the world, and play a pivotal role in global food production. At the same time we are faced with several challenges that affect the way in which we think about this valuable set of resources. The population of the world is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, and increase of about one third relative to today’s levels. This population increase will be focused in urban areas, and in what are currently viewed as “developing” countries, meaning that the buying power of this increased population will be greater – shifting the balance of demand from staple crops to high value items such as meat and dairy products. Overall that the world will have to approximately double agricultural output across all categories of food to meet the demands of this larger, urbanised population. This is occurring against a backdrop of equally large challenges in terms of global climate change. Agriculture is already a significant contributor to e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and soil erosion. The situation is made more complex by an increased emphasis on biofuels as a solution for our imminent oil shortage, resulting in increased competition between land utilised for food and fuel. In short, agriculture must continue to feed the world, whilst not contributing to damaging it further. It must be sustainable. Plant breeding plays a significant but frequently understated role in meeting the challenges presented by this complex and changing scenario. However, plant breeding and improvement is itself undergoing radical change driven by technology. This book explores how forage and turf breeding is changing and adapting to meet these challenges using the technological advances being experienced in plant breeding as a whole.

Download or read book Comparative Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis of Wild and Domesticated Apple written by Jung Cho and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domesticated plants have shaped the current human society as crops have been selectively bred over generations to meet human needs. However, this process has led to an inevitable narrowing of the cultivated plant's germplasm, resulting in the domesticated species only possessing a subset of the genetic diversity of its progenitor species. The vulnerability of the plant that results from the decrease in genetic diversity has been a topic of concern over the last two centuries and wild germplasm has emerged as a reservoir of alleles that may improve the agricultural traits of a plant in productivity, quality and resistance to disease and pest. The domesticated apple, Malus x domestica, is one of the most important fruits in the temperate region and are widely consumed around the world because of their high nutrition and year-round availability. However, domestication and vegetative propagation of the domesticated apple has also resulted in a decrease in genetic diversity due to only a small number of elite cultivars being used for breeding purposes. Various studies have suggested Malus sieversii, the wild apple species found in Central Asia to be the progenitor species of the domesticated apple. Investigating this wild germplasm has already identified many important traits such as resistance to diseases, pests as well as biotic and abiotic stress. With the recent developments in molecular genetic techniques such as RNA-sequencing and the completed genome sequencing of the domesticated apple cultivar, 'Golden Delicious', a detailed study comparing the genetic diversity between wild and domesticated apple seemed necessary. A comparative transcriptomic and non-targeted metabolomic study was undertaken on M. domestica, M. sieversii and M. sylvestris, the European wild crabapple. The metabolomic profiles of these three species showed how each species are characterized by a different group of metabolites. Also, ascorbyl glucoside, a stable form of vitamin C, was isolated for the first time in apple to the best of my knowledge and was found to be present in high concentrations in two M. sylvestris genotypes. Various possibilities of ascorbyl glucoside synthesis in apple are explored.
