Root genetic research and its applications in plant breeding

Synopsis
Roots play an essential role in the acquisition of water and minerals from soils. Root system architecture (RSA), the spatial configuration of a root system in the soil, is used to describe the shape and structure of root system. Its importance in plant productivity lies in the fact that major soil resources are heterogeneously distributed in the soil, so that the spatial deployment of roots will substantially determine the ability of a plant to secure edaphic resources. Measuring crop root architecture and assaying for changes in function can be challenging, but examples have emerged showing that modifications to roots result in higher yield and increased stress tolerance.1
A marker-assisted back-crossing (MABC) breeding programme was conducted to improve the root morphological traits, and thereby drought tolerance, of the Indian upland rice variety, Kalinga III. The donor parent was Azucena, an upland japonica variety from Philippines. Five segments on different chromosomes were targeted for introgression; four segments carried QTLs for improved root morphological traits and the fifth carried a recessive QTL for aroma. It significantly increased root length under both irrigated and drought stress treatments.2
Alteration of root system architecture improves drought avoidance through the cloning and characterization of DEEPER ROOTING 1 (DRO1), a rice quantitative trait locus controlling root growth angle. Higher expression of DRO1 increases the root growth angle, whereby roots grow in a more downward direction. Introducing DRO1 into a shallow-rooting rice cultivar by backcrossing enabled the resulting line to avoid drought by increasing deep rooting, which maintained high yield performance under drought conditions relative to the recipient cultivar.3
GmEXPB2, A vegetative -expansin gene, clone from a Pi starvation-induced soybean cDNA library. GmEXPB2 was found to be primarily expressed in roots, and was highly induced by Pi starvation, and the induction pattern was confirmed by GUS staining in transgenic soybean hairy roots. Results from intact soybean composite showed that GmEXPB2 is involved in hairy root elongation, and subsequently affects plant growth and P uptake, especially at low P levels.4
Candidate Aluminum tolerance proteins include organic acid efflux transporters, with the organic acids forming non-toxic complexes with rhizosphere aluminum. ge

Breeding for salt tolerance in rice: Phenomics and genomicsPratik Satasiya
Harmonizing the high throughput techniques for phenomics and genomics is both a challenge and opportunity.
There is no replacement of the conventional breeding, but its limitations in terms of speed and accuracy can be overcome by molecular breeding programmes.
The conventional phenotyping and breeding approaches are sound, the advantages and opportunities thrown open by automated phenotyping should be availed for faster gains.
Since modern genotyping protocols are well developed and high throughput in rice, phenotyping models need more consideration because capturing “right QTL” largely depends upon right phenotyping.
In molecular breeding for salinity tolerance, initial success has been made by the discovery of many QTLs and several rice salinity GWAS reports, but still there is a considerable gap between knowledge discovery and actual use of molecular breeding in realization of field oriented salt tolerant rice varieties.
Stage-specific and stress-specific QTLs may be identified for need based deployment for which, the screening methodology should be simple and high throughput, reproducible and representative of near-field conditions.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

31. Somatic hybridiation
Protoplast fusion is a potentialy supporting
technique in modern potato breeding:
• to combine non-crossable
dihaploids tbr with diploid
Solanum species or hybrids,
•to combine various Solanums
with different EBN level
• to obtain autofused forms
with enhanced ploidy level
(2x → 4x)
• to obtain intergeneric
hybrids
32. Somatic hybrids between
S. michoacanum (1 EBN) resistant to LB, useful for
cold chipping (4oC) and S.tuberosum hybrid DG 81-68

Potato cultivar cisgenesis
35. Gene technology in potato: Cisgenesis
• Unlike in transgenesis, genes are only transferred
between closely related organisms
• Because cisgenesis could be achieved through
conventional breeding it should not face as much
criticism as GM through transgenesis.
• Cisgenesis has the advantage over conventional
breeding that it can produce new cultivars more quickly
36. Resume- future directions for potato
breeding for poor and rich
• Tolerance to drought, high temperature
• High adaptability
• Resistance to bacterial diseases
• Low input cultivars – resistant to pathogens
and pests,
• Quality in table potatoes- strategic food
• Organic (eco-) potato
• Potato as biofactory (GM)
• Nisha markets (baby potato)
