Genetic and molecular mechanisms of aluminum tolerance in plants Genetic and molecular mechanisms of aluminum tolerance in plants

Simões CC; Melo JO; Magalhaes JV; Guimarães CT (2012). Genetic and molecular mechanisms of aluminum tolerance in plants. Genetics and Molecular Research 11 (3):1949–1957. (DOI: 10.4238/2012.July.19.14). http://geneticsmr.com/articles/1770. (G7010.03.02).

Genes encoding membrane transporters and accessory transcription factors, as well as cis-elements that enhance gene expression are involved in Al tolerance in plants, thus studies of these genes and accessory factors should be the focus of molecular breeding efforts aimed at improving Al tolerance in crops. In this review, we describe the main genetic and molecular studies that led to the identification and cloning of genes associated with Al tolerance in plants. We include recent findings on the regulation of genes associated with Al tolerance. Understanding the genetic, molecular, and physiological aspects of Al tolerance in plants is important for generating cultivars adapted to acid soils, thereby contributing to food security worldwide.

Field phenotyping strategies and breeding for adaptation of rice to drought Field phenotyping strategies and breeding for adaptation of rice to drought

Fischer KS, Fukai S, Kumar A, Leung H and Jongdee B (2012). Field phenotyping strategies and breeding for adaptation of rice to drought. Frontiers in Plant Physiology 3:282. (DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2012.00282).

This paper is a section of the book “Drought phenotyping in crops: from theory to practice” (Monneveux Philippe and Ribaut Jean-Marcel eds, published by CGIAR Generation Chal-lenge Programme. Texcoco, Mexico). The section describes recent experience in drought phenotyping in rice which is one of the most drought-susceptible crops. The section contains genetic and genomic resources for drought adaptation and methods for selection of drought-resistant varieties in rice. In appendix, there is experience from Thailand on integration of direct selection for grain yield and physiological traits to confer drought resistance.

Genetic and physical mapping of candidate genes for resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum Race 3 in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] Genetic and physical mapping of candidate genes for resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum Race 3 in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp]

Pottorff M, Wanamaker S, Ma YQ, Ehlers JD, Roberts PA, Close TJ (2012). Genetic and physical mapping of candidate genes for resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum Race 3 in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp]. PLoS ONE 7(7):e41600. (DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0041600). (G6010.02/G7010.07.01).

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum (Fot) is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt disease in cowpea. Fot race 3 is one of the major pathogens affecting cowpea production in California. Identification of Fot race 3 resistance determinants will expedite delivery of improved cultivars by replacing time-consuming phenotypic screening with selection based on perfect markers, thereby generating successful cultivars in a shorter time period. Resistance to Fot race 3 was studied in the RIL population California Blackeye 27 (resistant) x 24-125B-1 (susceptible). Biparental mapping identified a Fot race 3 resistance locus, Fot3-1, which spanned 3.56 cM on linkage group one of the CB27 x 24-125B-1 genetic map.

The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants

The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants. Nature 488(7410): 213–217. (DOI:10.1038/nature11241).

Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are giant perennial monocotyledonous herbs of the order Zingiberales, a sister group to the well-studied Poales, which include cereals. Bananas are vital for food security in many tropical and subtropical countries and the most popular fruit in industrialized countries1. The Musa domestication process started some 7,000 years ago in Southeast Asia. It involved hybridizations between diverse species and subspecies, fostered by human migrations2, and selection of diploid and triploid seedless, parthenocarpic hybrids thereafter widely dispersed by vegetative propagation. Half of the current production relies on somaclones derived from a single triploid genotype (Cavendish)1. Pests and diseases have gradually become adapted, representing an imminent danger for global banana production3,4.
