These methods detect chromosomal changes, such as shape, size, arm ratio, and DNA content, making it possible to identify genetic composition in natural and artificial hybrids or foreign gene infiltration in plant species. l Biochemical Markers: Isozyme marker technology is available to detect and analyze genetic variation both within and between plant species. ...
Introduction of Cytokinin Cytokinin is an organic compound that belongs to the cytokinin family. It is widely used in plant physiology and agriculture due to its beneficial effects on plant growth and yield. Cytokinin is a potent growth hormone and is commonly used in plant tissue culture, induction of cell division and shoot proliferation, ...

Plants exhibit enormous variation in traits relevant to breeding, such as plant height, yield, and resistance to insect pests. ...
The virus is hosted and spread by a soil-living fungus that colonizes the roots of wheat plants, discolors wheat leaves and stunts plant growth. Microscopic fungal spores containing WYMV can survive in soil for up to 10 years. ...
“Identifying genetic factors that increase nitrogen use efficiency is therefore crucial.” Plant breeders have genetically modified plant species for thousands of years to create seeds with a larger proportion of metabolites to improve nutritional value and utility. ...
Plants are constantly attacked by bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. ...
Therefore, the possibility of planting wheat on salinity-affected soils is essential to feed the population and avoid economic losses in the countries involved. ...
Therefore, bananas are not only a fruit, but also the basis on which many people depend, which is an important reason why we cannot lose bananas. Traditional plant breeding is a hard, tedious, and time-consuming process that often takes decades to succeed. Moreover, planting bananas does not produce seeds, which leads to more difficult improved ...
Xu Cao's research group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences published a paper titled “A two-in-one breeding strategy boosts rapid utilization of wild species and elite cultivars” online in Plant Biotechnology. This study reports a new "two-in-one" rapid breeding strategy, which ...
Fourthly, high compatibility: pheromone can be integrated into the combined use of other green prevention and control technologies such as biological pesticides, planting and breeding. Classification of Insect Pheromones Aggregation pheromones Animals rely on secretions to attract other individuals of the same species to come to live together, feed together, and ...
The future of agriculture is ever-changing… And in the bid to feed the world by 2050 there are a number of key challenges, but also exciting opportunities. With an ever-rising global population, climate change, food security and working out how to produce enough nutrient-dense food for the masses are high priorities for the agriculture sector. These colossal world issues present many ...
The search for an ERP solution that would better meet the needs of today and leave enough space for the possibilities of tomorrow, led animal feed manufacturer Vitelia Voeders to Adifo. The powerful combination of Adifo’s sector-specific ERP flagship MILAS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 turned out to perfectly meet Vitelia Voeders’ demand. The result: a customer ready for further growth ...

This season has been, without a doubt, one of the wettest since 2009. In many states, the excessive rain led to flooding and late planting. On my family farm in North Central Iowa, like on many farms throughout the Corn Belt, it was so wet that we couldn’t get into the field to plant on schedule. And the continued wet weather means that now high and variable grain moisture levels are ...
Approximately a year ago, I entered the plant phenotyping arena and in my first blog for our company posed the following ...
Even though, it has provided benefits to agricultural producers with improved safety and wholesomeness. Engineered plants have helped in improved crop yields per acre with insect or pests resistance cultivars via less of utilization of herbicides, pesticides, and water and tilling. ...
Using LED grow lights in plant production is a relatively new branch of science. In vertical farming where artificial light sources are used in closed environment it is important to collect data about the individual plant species to be able to produce the right spectrum and light intensity for vegetative and generative growth. Light spectrums can also be used to ...
The new approach to plant breeding will allow the fruit industry to be more involved in the release of new Canadian varieties of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes that are developed from a bigger, hand-picked genetic pool of superior plant traits. ...
Effective planning and monitoring of the environmental conditions of plant growth have vital importance in terms of efficiency and control. ...
A determined fellow dedicated to the millennia-old tradition of plant breeding, Morton still breeds lettuce — it just takes longer, because more restrictions make it harder for him to do his work. ...
