The genetic hypothesis with two loci and epistatic interaction of the piping (P) over spiny (S) trait was tested. The chi-square test was performed on deviations between the observed and expected numbers based on the genetic hypotheses formulated. The “BRS Imperial” × “Pérola” and “Pico de Rosa” × “BRS Imperial” progenies segregated into 1:0:1 (spineless:spiny tip:spiny), expressing phenotypes of their respective parents. The spineless leaf (“BRS Imperial”) is determined by the “Ppss” genotype, with the locus “P” in heterozygosity and the locus “S” in recessive homozygosity. The spiny leaf margin (“Pérola” and “Pico de Rosa”) is controlled by the “ppss” genotype.","PeriodicalId":10763,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67260123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies indicated that the Va gene (Ntab0942120) determines the susceptibility of the crop to PVY, and that the Va gene product interacts with the PVY genome-linked protein (VPg) to initiate the PVY genome translation process, which ultimately leads to the systemic infection of tobacco by the virus. In this research, tobacco cultivar LJ911 was used as receptor material for gene editing. Gene Va was knocked out through CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and transgene-free homozygous edited plants in the T1 generation were established. Pathology tests indicated that the edited plants had gained PVY resistance. Therefore, the edited materials generated in this study represent potentially useful genetic resources for breeding of PVYresistant tobacco.","PeriodicalId":10763,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67260277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three factors explained more than 70% of genotypic variability, with selective accuracies varying from low (0.46) to high (0.99).

The development of resistant cultivars is one of the best and sustainable control alternatives. Plant breeding efforts have been accelerated by genetic mapping (linkage and associative) and marker assisted selection. On the other hand, genomic editing techniques, such as meganucleases (MNs), Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), Transcription Activator–like Effector Nucleases (TALENs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindrome Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9), can be used to promote specific genetic modifications. Likewise, transgenics can also be used to manipulate specific genes. In this sense, this work aims to characterize rice blast and elucidate available biotechnological alternatives to accelerate the development of improved rice cultivars resistant to rice blast.","PeriodicalId":10763,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67261729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wild Arachis spe - cies represent useful genetic resources because of their resistance to pests and diseases. In particular, understanding the affinity between B-genome species is important for broadening the genetic base of A. hypogaea (AABB genome), since only one population of A. ipaënsis is known, and relatively few other species have been described. Therefore, we aimed to determine the genomic affinity between A. ipaënsis and A. williamsii by developing hybrids. Microsatellite markers verified the hybrid status, and chromosome pairing and pollen viability results revealed that the species share high genomic affinity. Additionally, the presence of dyads detected in sporad and pollen analyses indicated the production of 2n gametes. These results will be useful for performing evolutionary studies and developing strategies for introgression programs to improve the B genome of A. hypogaea.","PeriodicalId":10763,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67261695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
