Among millets and pseudocereals sorghum, pearl millet, foxtail millet, finger millet, proso millet, amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa are extensively studied in terms of molecular characterization and generation of genomic resources. But in other millets like kodo millet, little millet, barnyard millet, browntop millet, fonio [Digitaria exilis (Kipp.) Stapf; (D. iburua Stapf)], etc., molecular studies are meagre and needs to be expedited at a large scale using next-generation sequencing approaches to generate genomic resources in terms of whole genome sequence, makers, genes/QTLs, alleles, etc. The present chapter is...

Although many genetic resources harboring single R-genes are available for blast resistance, wide genetic variations exist in the blast fungus lead to breakdown of these resistant varieties soon after its release. To control such a deadly disease, there is a need to identify QTLs which offer durable partial resistance. In this endeavor, we identified Akhanaphou, a unique rice landraces of Manipur showing a high level of resistance to leaf and neck blast across various locations. Upon genetic characterization, we found resistance in Akhanaphou governed by QTLs and two major genes i.e Pi38 and Pitp. Three best stabilized recombinant inbred lines (RILs) showing resistance for leaf and neck blast and having significant homozygosity at various loci were identified based on gene profiling, phenotyping, and agronomic evaluation studies. The shortlisted RILs are valuable genetic resources...

The use of heterosis for getting high yield with improved quality has been largely used in cross-pollinated crops. Term heterosis was coined by Shull (1914), who defined it as the development stimulus resulting from the union of different gametes and hybrid vigour as “the manifestation of heterosis”. In selfpollinated crops evidences are available to confirm the potential use of heterosis (Haq and Laila, 1991), suggesting the easiest ways of the possibility of commercial exploitation of genetic potential in wheat crops. Heterotic studies can also be used for getting information about the increase or decrease of F 1s over their mid parent (average or relative heterosis) and better parent (heterobeltiosis). Its use for elaborating the general and specific combining ability, in the selection process is also confirmed (Inamullah et al., 2006) Exploitation of heterosis in wheat crop may ...

It would not be an exaggeration to say that we are at the peak of genomics era as with the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies we have an enormous amount of genomic data coming every day. Genomics assisted breeding (GAB) is becoming increasingly popular in the field of crop improvement. GAB utilizes available genomics information of different crops and their relatives for the purpose of plant breeding to produce improved varieties of the crops. Proper knowledge of these tools and databases helps in speeding up the process of plant breeding. The available tools can be categorize in several groups such as: genetic diversity, Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL)/gene mapping, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) based Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) genotyping, Molecular breeding, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), Genomic Selection (GS), Marker Assisted Recurrent Selection (MARS), Multiparent Advanced Gen...

In addition, ability to express foreign genes using transgenic technologies has opened up options for producing large quantities of commercially important industrial or pharmaceutical products in plants. Despite this high adoption rate and future promises, there is a multitude of concerns about the impact of genetically modified (GM) crops on the environment. Potential contamination of the environment and food chains has prompted detailed consideration of how such crops and the molecules that they produce can be effectively isolated and contained. One of the reasonable steps after creating a transgenic plant is to evaluate its potential benefits and risks to the environment and these should be compared to those generated by traditional agricultural practices. The precautionary approach in risk management of GM plants may make it necessary to monitor significant wild and weed populations that might be affected by transgene escape. Effective risk assessment and monitoring mechanisms are the basic prerequisites of any legal framework to adequately address the risks and watch out for new risks. Several agencies in different countries monitor the release of GM organisms or frame guidelines for the appropriate application of recombinant organisms in agro-industries so as to assure the safe use of recombinant organisms and to achieve sound overall development. We feel that it is important to establish an internationally harmonized framework for the safe handling of recombinant DNA organisms within a few years.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an assessment method to evaluate the impact of biotechnologies that uses quantifiable parameters and allows a comparative analysis between conventional technology and technologies using GMOs. This paper introduces a method to perform an impact analysis associated with the commercial release and use of genetically modified plants, the Assessment System GMP Method. The assessment is performed through indicators that are arranged according to their dimension criterion likewise: environmental, economic, social, capability and institutional approach. To perform an accurate evaluation of the GMP specific indicators related to genetic modification are grouped in common fields: genetic insert features, GM plant features, gene flow, food/feed field, introduction of the GMP, unexpected occurrences and specific indicators. The novelty is the possibility to include specific parameters to the biotechnology under assessment. In this case by case analysis the factors of moderation and the indexes are parameterized to perform an available assessment.
