The effect of drought and heat stress on reproductive processes in cereals.

TL;DR: The results achieved so far indicate that various plant organs, in a definite hierarchy and in interaction with each other, are involved in determining crop yield under stress.

Molecular Plant Breeding as the Foundation for 21st Century Crop Improvement

TL;DR: The fundamental discoveries of Darwin and Mendel established the scientific basis for plant breeding and genetics at the turn of the 20th century and the recent integration of advances in biotechnology, genomic research, and molecular marker applications with conventional plant breeding is being integrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating economic costs into conservation planning.

TL;DR: This work focuses on what costs are, why they are important to consider, how they can be quantified and the benefits of their inclusion in priority setting, and considers prospects for integrating them into conservation planning.

Next-generation sequencing technologies and their implications for crop genetics and breeding

TL;DR: This review outlines some important areas such as the large-scale development of molecular markers for linkage mapping, association mapping, wide crosses and alien introgression, epigenetic modifications, transcript profiling, population genetics and de novo genome/organellar genome assembly for which these technologies are expected to advance crop genetics and breeding, leading to crop improvement.

De Novo assembly of chickpea transcriptome using short reads for gene discovery and marker identification

TL;DR: The chickpea transcripts set generated here provides a resource for gene discovery and development of functional molecular markers and the strategy for de novo assembly of transcriptome data presented here will be helpful in other similar transcriptome studies.

The map-based sequence of the rice genome

Takashi Matsumoto, +265 more
- 11 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: A map-based, finished quality sequence that covers 95% of the 389 Mb rice genome, including virtually all of the euchromatin and two complete centromeres, and finds evidence for widespread and recurrent gene transfer from the organelles to the nuclear chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNAs AND THEIR REGULATORY ROLES IN PLANTS

TL;DR: The importance of miRNA-directed gene regulation during plant development is now particularly clear and typically at the cores of gene regulatory networks, targeting genes that are themselves regulators, such as those encoding transcription factors and F-box proteins.

A receptor kinase-like protein encoded by the rice disease resistance gene, Xa21. - eScholarship

TL;DR: The sequence of the predicted protein, which carries both a leucine-rich repeat motif and a serine-threonine kinase-like domain, suggests a role in cell surface recognition of a pathogen ligand and subsequent activation of an intracellular defense response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association Mapping in Structured Populations

TL;DR: This article describes a novel, statistically valid, method for case-control association studies in structured populations that uses a set of unlinked genetic markers to infer details of population structure, and to estimate the ancestry of sampled individuals, before using this information to test for associations within subpopulations.
