    Plants Activate 'Wartime' Protein Production to Fight Invasion

    By Isla Miller

    Published Sep 29, 2022 

    Plants are constantly attacked by bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. When a plant senses a microbial invasion, fundamental changes occur in the chemical soup of proteins inside its cells, the workhorses of life. In a new study published in Cell, Duke University researchers have uncovered a key ingredient in plant cells that reprograms their protein-making machinery to fight disease... Plants rely on their immune systems to fight back. Unlike animals, plants do not have specialized immune cells to carry the bloodstream to the site of infection...

    New strategy of "two in one" rapid breeding

    By Isla Miller

    Published Mar 23, 2022 

    Xu Cao's research group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences published a paper titled “A two-in-one breeding strategy boosts rapid utilization of wild species and elite cultivars” online in Plant Biotechnology. This study reports a new two-in-one rapid breeding strategy, which combines the new de novo domestication breeding method and the classic hybrid breeding technology to complement each other's strengths, and realize the rapid introduction of stress tolerance traits and the development of diversified planting models in tomato. One-click creation provides new ideas for efficient and rapid utilization of excellent wild resources and cultivated germplasm, and cultivation of environment-adaptive crops and crops with diverse planting patterns... In particular, the lack of efficient plant gene editing tools in terms of gene knock-in or knock-up makes it difficult to create many complex traits through gene editing. Wild plants have undergone long-term natural selection and environmental adaptive evolution, and have natural environmental adaptation and stress tolerance traits; while modern cultivated species have excellent yield and quality traits after long-term artificial breeding, and the pearl and bare of the two is a prominent feature of future crops...

    Researchers Analyze Rapeseed Thioglycoside Transport Mechanism to Assist High-quality Breeding

    By Isla Miller

    Published Feb 24, 2022 

    The paper was published in Plant Physiology... Glucosinolates (thioglycosides) are unique secondary metabolites of cruciferous plants. Most kinds of thioglycosides are synthesized in the vegetative tissues of plants and then transported into seeds. Their metabolites play an important role in plant pest defense... With the popularization of rapeseed double low (seed low sulfur glycosides and low erucic acid) breeding, the amount of thiosidic acid in vegetative tissues is also reduced while reducing seed thioglycoside content, which leads to decreased plant disease and insect resistance...

    Plant genome research to find genes that adapt to harsh climates

    By Isla Miller

    Published Nov 24, 2021 

    A new study identifies the genetic basis behind the adaptation strategies used by plants to cope with the harsh natural environment... The team identified the plant lineages, related microbes, and genes that allowed Atacama plants to adapt and grow under extreme desert conditions... The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is one of the harshest environments on earth-although it is one of the driest places on earth, dozens of plants still grow here, including grasses, annual plants and perennial shrubs. Atacama's plants must adapt to limited water, high altitude, lack of nutrients in sandy soil, extremely high solar radiation, and temperatures that fluctuate more than 50 degrees from day to night. This provides a natural laboratory for studying the adaptation of plants to extreme environments...

    What Does CRISPR Mean for Modern Agriculture?

    By Amanda Allworth

    Published Jun 6, 2018 

    For example, certain genes can be turned on or off, or genes can be edited to produce a new or different effect in plants... Even with advancements in traditional plant breeding, it can take years to bring a new seed product to market. CRISPR cuts down the time it takes to produce genetic changes in crops, meaning there is potential to get new products to market much faster than with traditional plant breeding methods. Less regulation makes production cheaperProponents of CRISPR technology got a huge win in March when the USDA announced that it would not regulate CRISPR modified plant products... A survey done for CropLife International in 2011 estimated that it costs 136 million dollars to get a new genetically modified plant product to market...

    THP9 Can Improve Protein Content and Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency in Maize Seeds

    By Isla Miller

    Published Dec 15, 2022 

    ”Plant breeders have genetically modified plant species for thousands of years to create seeds with a larger proportion of metabolites to improve nutritional value and utility. As maize becomes a major source of livestock feed, plant breeders prioritize starch content and yield, while protein content and taste become minor considerations... Previous studies on rice, wheat and barley have shown that changes in the expression of such genes alter plant growth and nitrogen content... Amino acids are essential substrates for protein synthesis, and their levels in plants are influenced by soil nitrogen supply and plant nitrogen use efficiency... Further analysis showed that THP9-T has the potential to increase protein content in maize seeds and plants through plant breeding...

    How important is increasing cover crop mass when timing burndown?

    By Anonymous Member

    Published Apr 8, 2020 

    Is there a lot of benefit to letting cover crops grow a tremendous amount of vegetation prior to terminating them or do the risks of increased planting difficulty make it not worth the trouble?

    cover cropping with triticale ,hairy vetch and cow peas late fall?

    By Brady Shortell

    Published Oct 18, 2020 

    Looking at planting triticale with hairy vetch and cow peas for a cover crop next year for a cash crop or corn to be planted late May 2021 using a roller crimper to terminate the cover crop before plant. It’s October 18th, I won’t be able to plant until the 22nd. Night time temps have fluctuated from mid 30s to high 20s no consistency yet. Some nights stay closer to 40. Highs are in the 70s and 80s. Am I too late for any of my covers? Any suggestions on planting rates? Will triticale terminate properly if I follow the method used for Rye, waiting until the entire field is dropping pollen?

    Sensing Technologies for Precision Phenotyping in Vegetable Crops: Current Status and Future Challenges

    Authors: Pasquale Tripodi, Daniele Massa, Accursio Venezia and Teodoro Cardi

    Journal: Agronomy 2018, 8(4), 57; https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy8040057

    Publisher: MDPI

    Increasing the ability to investigate plant functions and structure through non-invasive methods with high accuracy has become a major target in plant breeding and precision agriculture. Emerging approaches in plant phenotyping play a key role in unraveling quantitative traits responsible for growth, production, quality, and resistance to various stresses. Beyond fully automatic phenotyping systems, several promising technologies can help accurately characterize a wide range of plant traits at affordable costs and with high-throughput. In this review, we revisit the principles of proximal and remote sensing, describing the application of non-invasive devices for precision phenotyping applied to the protected horticulture. Potentiality and constraints of big data management and integration with “omics” disciplines will also be discussed.

    Crop Breeders in Developing Countries can now access Open Source tools for faster Plant Breeding

    Crop breeders in developing countries can now access free tools to accelerate the breeding of improved crops varieties, thanks to a collaboration between the GOBII project at Cornell University and the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI), and the James Hutton Institute in Scotland.

    The collaboration works with breeding centers around the world to identify unmet needs and has developed tools to make the process of adding a trait into an existing, high-yield crop variety more efficient. Researchers at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) are using the tools to develop corn varieties with greater resistance to viruses.

    EU Call for Proposals: From Agrobiodiversity to dynamic value chains

    Activities shall release the value of so far underutilised and often genetically diverse crops, (including landraces and varieties) and promote their broader use in breeding, farming and in food/non-food value chains. They will improve the performance of the selected crop(s) in relation to specific characteristics (e.g. agronomic such as adaptability to climate related abiotic stresses or quality related traits) and address the corresponding needs for farm and land management. Activities will feed into the development of value chains, which provide opportunities to diversify farm activities and income as well as meet consumer demands for diversified products and/or for products with a local/regional identity. This will include developing and testing marketing channels with enhanced producer-consumer links.

    Application Deadline: 22 January 2020 17:00:00 Brussels time

    Plant breeders tap robots, drones and artificial intelligence to feed the world

    Digital innovations in agriculture, including robots, drones and artificial intelligence (AI), are part of a new arsenal of tools plant breeders are using to feed the world’s population.

    Plant breeding has been going on for 10,000 years, said Mike Gore, professor of molecular breeding at Cornell University, but technology – unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robots, AI and machine learning – is revolutionizing the practice.

    Photo: Mike Gore, Ph.D. '09, and his lab conduct research using remote sensing technology to explore the genetic basis of trait variation in crops such as corn, oat and cassava. The research leads to more efficient and effective selection of plant variations for the high-yielding, or highly nutritious, cultivar that can help feed the world's population. Gore is also part of the leadership in recently formed CIDA Cornell Initiative for Digital Agriculture, which is leveraging digital innovations in agriculture to improve the sustainability, profitability, resiliency and efficiency of the world's food systems.

    "'Perhaps the greatest bottleneck currently in plant breeding and genetics is effectively generating precision measurements of plant characteristics in the field,' he says. 'The goal of this project is to deliver in-season yield predictions by building models that combine genetic information from DNA sequencing and crop physiology that we will gather from UAV measurements on tens of thousands of breeding lines.'"
