Plant genome size, the total amount of DNA within a single copy of an organism's nuclear genome, is a fundamental characteristic of plant biology. ...
Using maize as an example, they demonstrate in the journal Genome Biology the great potential of this approach, noting regions of the maize genome that may contribute to improved yield and insect resistance. ...
Traditional cytological genetic methods are standard methods for genome-wide assessment prior to methods such as karyotyping, among others. ...
Through breeding and phenotype selection, cloning, and mothering, we’re creating our own proprietary strains or cultivars with unique characteristics that we think will do well on the market. ...

The first part of the workshop agenda included a number of short presentations from research and technology organizations to highlight general scientific developments in the major areas of 1) labour and automation; 2) crop protection products; 3) biopesticides and systems approaches; and 4) plant breeding and genomics. Following the speakers and a general ...
Key to making good decisions, first of all, is to understand that not all applications of CRISPR are created equal — or have equal implications for the sustainability of agriculture. Like all breeding and biotech, genomic editing will bring positive and negative consequences, and should be evaluated on a full range of social and environmental effects. ...

INRA scientists working with colleagues from the Broad Institute (Boston, USA), Uppsala University (Sweden) and the University of Porto (Portugal) participated in the first instance in producing a reference sequence1 of the rabbit genome. This was then compared with the genomes of six domestic rabbit breeds (New Zealand, Bélier ...
Even greater genetic diversity is present in related species yet surprisingly little of the maize-related biodiversity is present in the current elite breeding pools. Improved methods and tools for germplasm conservation, characterization, and data sharing, as well as for population improvement, gene pool enhancement, and genomics-aided breeding ...
The results will clearly facilitate use of Renlon in breeding, additional mapping, genomics, and prospective ...
Genomic selection predicts the breeding values of lines in a population by analyzing their phenotypes and high-density marker scores. ...
