TL;DR: The development of wheat genetic maps based on microsatellite (SSR) markers is giving researchers an unprecedented view into genome organization and breeding population structure.
Abstract: The development of wheat genetic maps based on microsatellite (SSR) markers is giving researchers an unprecedented view into genome organization and breeding population structure. When this DNA-based technology is coupled with phenotypic data, QTL analysis and trait mapping are facilitated. This ultimately enables design of experiments to assemble complex genotypes that pyramid multiple traits

TL;DR: The results suggest that genomic predictions can be produced for crossbred beef cattle with greater efficiency for selection and management especially in younger animals.
Abstract: A total of 4,218 animals genotyped for 50 K SNPs were used to evaluate accuracy of molecular breeding values (MBVs) of Canadian crossbred beef cattle traits. A cross-validation approach that involves random sampling of all animals to form 5-groups was applied. One group was dedicated as a validation set and the remaining four groups were combined to form a reference set. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction method was applied for training and prediction of MBVs in the validation set. Estimated breeding values (EBV) were used as the phenotype and a bivariate animal model was applied to each trait to estimate the genetic correlation between MBV and EBV. Accuracy of MBVs ranged from 0.05 to 0.68 for the studied traits. The results suggest that genomic predictions can be produced for crossbred beef cattle with greater efficiency for selection and management especially in younger animals.

TL;DR: Various methods have been employed for developing a large number of transposable element markers in several crop plants for genomics studies including the recent whole genome search.
Abstract: Transposable element (TE) marker system was developed considering the useful properties of the transposable elements such as their large number in the animal and plant genomes, high rate of insertion polymorphism, and ease of detection. Various methods have been employed for developing a large number of TE markers in several crop plants for genomics studies. Here we describe some of these methods including the recent whole genome search. We also review the application of TE markers in molecular breeding.

TL;DR: In this article, a plant cell having an extraneous ferritin gene has been transduced into a plant to obtain a transformed plant cell, and then the transformed plant cells is regenerated into a new plant.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the iron content in a plant by molecular breeding SOLUTION: A plant cell having an extraneous ferritin gene (eg soybean ferritin cDNA) which has been transduced in an expressible state A plant (eg lettuce) having the plant cells in which extraneous ferritin genes have been transduced in an expressive state A progeny (eg seed) derived from the plant and still able to express the extraneous ferritin gene The extraneous gene is transduced into a plant cell to obtain a transformed plant cell, and the transformed plant cell is regenerated into a plant Thus, a plant increased in iron content is obtained A plant transformant having a plant cell into which an extraneous ferritin gene has been transduced is prepared, and then the plant cells among the transformants are made to express the extraneous ferritin genes Thus, the iron contents in the plant cells are increased
