Rapid improvement of domestication traits in an orphan crop by genome editing
Zachary H. Lemmon,Nathan T. Reem,Justin Dalrymple,Sebastian Soyk,Kerry Swartwood,Daniel Rodríguez-Leal,Joyce Van Eck,Joyce Van Eck,Zachary B. Lippman,Zachary B. Lippman +9 more
TL;DR: A study developed genomic resources and efficient transformation in the orphan crop groundcherry, and managed to improve productivity traits by editing the orthologues of tomato domestication and improvement genes using CRISPR–Cas9.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.): orphan crop, nutraceutical or just plain food?
TL;DR: Development of varieties with an improved balance in essential amino acids and diet may be relevant to enhance the nutritional value without jeopardizing the multiple stress tolerance of this promising crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Achievements and prospects of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) improvement for sustainable food production
TL;DR: This review describes progress achieved in Lathyrus genetic improvement and explores potential opportunities and urgent research needs for this somewhat neglected crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic interventions for sustainable agriculture.
TL;DR: It is advocated that strengthening varietal release and seed distribution systems will play a more determining role in delivering genetic gains at farmer’s field and a holistic approach outlined here would be crucial to deliver steady stream of climate‐smart crop cultivars for sustainable agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embracing new-generation ‘omics’ tools to improve drought tolerance in cereal and food-legume crops
TL;DR: In this paper, a more focused survey of environment-defined germplasm sets is imperative to comprehend such adaptive traits, and uncovering the genetic architecture and the molecular networks that collectively contribute towards drought tolerance is urgently required through rationally combining large-scale genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data.

Identification of markers linked to disease-resistance genes by bulked segregant analysis: a rapid method to detect markers in specific genomic regions by using segregating populations.
TL;DR: Bulk segregant analysis has several advantages over the use of near-isogenic lines to identify markers in specific regions of the genome and will have widespread application both in those species where selfing is possible and in those that are obligatorily outbreeding.
