Title: The basic concept of varietal development


1
The basic concept of varietal development
  • Produce or identify genetically variable
    germplasm
  • Carry out selection procedure
  • Stabilize and multiply these superior genotypes

2
A successful plant breeder will require knowledge
in many (if not all) of the following subjects
  • Evolution (Geographic area of origin)
  • Botany
  • Biology mode of reproduction, types of cultivar
    and breeding systems
  • Genetics
  • Pathology nematology, entomology, virology
  • Weed science
  • Food science
  • Biometry (A numbers game), Breeder are required
    to be good data manager
  • Agronomy
  • Molecular biology molecular markers, genetic
    engineering, tissue culture

3
Professor N.W. Simmonds defined domestication as
follow
  • A plant population has been domesticated when it
    has been substantially altered from the wild
    state and certainly when it has been so altered
    to be unable to survive in the wild.

4
Modes of reproduction and types of cultivar
A cultivar (or variety) is defined as a group of
one or more genotypes which have a combination of
characters giving it distinctness, uniformity and
stability (DUS)
  • Distinctness
  • Morphological characters (not to be influenced
    by environment)
  • Physiology
  • Disease or virus reaction-insect
    resistant-chemical quality
  • Molecular

Distinctness is described as follow The variety,
whatever the origin, artificial or natural, of
the initial variation from which it has resulted
shall be clearly distinguishable, by one or more
important characteristics, from any other plant
variety
5
UniformityAny variation should be predictable
and capable of being described by the breeder
Stability It must remain true to its description
when it is reproduced or propagated. The plant
variety shall continue to exhibit its essential
characteristics after successive reproductions
or, where the breeder has defined a particular
cycle of reproduction, at the end of each cycle
of reproduction (three of four way crosses).

Asexual reproduction
Bulb is a modified shoot consisting of a very
much shortened stem enclosed by fleshy leaves
(onion)
  • Corm is a swollen stem base bearing buds in the
    axils of scale-like remains of leaves from the
    previous years growth (garlic)

A rhizome is an underground stem with buds in the
axils of reduced leaves (Mint)
A tuber is a swollen stem that grows beneath the
soil surface bearing buds (potato)
Cutting
A stolon is a horizontally growing stem that
roots at nodes (strawberry runners)

Apomixis
  • Androgenesis sperm nucleus of a pollen grain
  • Apospory somatic ovary cells
  • Diplospory 2n megaspore mother cells
  • Partenogenesis egg cell without fertilization
  • Semigamy sperm and egg cells independently
    without fussion

Breeding objectives
-what political and economic factors are likely
to be of greatest importance in future years?
-what criteria will be used to determine the
yielding ability required of a new cultivar?
-what end-use quality characters are likely to be
of greatest importance when the new releases are
at a commercial stage?
-what diseases or pests are likely to be of
greatest importance in future years?
-what type of agricultural system will the
cultivar be developed for?
13
Plant breeders can increase growers
profitability by
-Increasing the yield per planted area, assuming
input costs remain constant (biomass and
partition)
-Increasing the region of crop production
-Reducing input costs (including herbicide,
insecticide and fungicides) while maintaining
high yield per unit area
-Increasing the inherent quality component of the
end product so that growers receive a higher unit
price when the harvestable product is sold, or
such that the product is more nutritious.
For example boiled potatoes need to remain
relatively firm and not disintegrate on boiling
(lower solid content of tuber) Potato chip (high
solid content with low water content and low
reducing sugare)
