    Breeding Virus Resistant Potatoes (Solanum Tuberosum): a Review of Traditional and Molecular Approaches

    Heredity 86 (2001) 17±35 Received 22 December 1999, accepted 20 September 2000 Breeding virus resistant potatoes (Solanum tuberosum): a review of traditional and molecular approaches RUTH M. SOLOMON-BLACKBURN* & HUGH BARKER Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, Scotland, U.K. Tetraploid cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the World's fourth most important crop and has been subjected to much breeding eort, including the incorporation of resistance to viruses. Several new approaches, ideas and technologies have emerged recently that could aect the future direction of virus resistance breeding. Thus, there are new opportunities to harness molecular techniques in the form of linked molecular markers to speed up and simplify selection of host resistance genes. The practical application of pathogen-derived transgenic resistance has arrived with the ®rst release of GM potatoes engineered for virus resistance in the USA. Recently, a cloned host virus resistance gene from potato has been shown to be eective when inserted into a potato cultivar lacking the gene. These and other developments oer great opportunities for improving virus resistance, and it is timely to consider these advances and consider the future direction of resistance breeding in potato. We review the sources of available resistance, conventional breeding methods, marker-assisted selection, somaclonal variation, pathogen-derived and other transgenic resistance, and transformation with cloned host genes. The relative merits of the dierent methods are discussed, and the likely direction of future developments is considered. Keywords: breeding, host gene, potato virus, resistance, review, transgenic.

    Two Blades of Grass: The Role of Science in the Green Revolution Alan Mark Fletcher November 13 and 14, 2011 Alan Mark Fletcher ’50 worked for over fifty years as a science writer and editor at institutions including Cornell University, the University of Georgia, the International Rice Research Institute, and the International Service for National Agricultural Research. Whoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together. - Jonathan Swift, in Gulliver’s Travels n 1798 the English clergyman-philosopher Thomas Malthus published “An Essay on the Principle of I Population,” in which he argued that while the population of the world would increase geometrically, the food available would increase only arithmetically. Malthus postulated that human population growth, therefore, would eventually outstrip the agricultural capacity of the Earth. At some point, he predicted, natural forces like famine and disease would reduce the human population to a sustainable level. His hypothesis has yet to be proven on any large scale with humans, but biologists have seen the Malthusian principle turn out to be correct with other animals, and there is no reason to believe that his hypothesis does not apply to humans. Back in 1968, Stanford University ecologist Paul R. Ehrlich scared us to death when he published The Population Bomb, in which he maintained that the Malthusian principle was about to overtake us. His book began with this statement: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over.

    Bioversity International’S Views on the Preparation, Scope and Content of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

    Bioversity International’s views on the preparation, scope and content of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework Rome, 14 December 2018 Agricultural biodiversity or agrobiodiversity is a subset of biodiversity. Both wild biodiversity and agrobiodiversity provide multiple ecosystem services that support food production, underpin food security and human wellbeing. We consider that biodiversity conservation efforts in agricultural contexts should better integrate wild and agrobiodiversity approaches. There is potential to better integrate and align efforts and activities to achieve outcomes for both agricultural and wild biodiversity, yet most agricultural and wild conservation strategies continue to be pursued separately. Given that globally, 38% of land is now farmed, agricultural land management is increasingly important for wild biodiversity conservation. How agrobiodiversity generates ecosystem services • Crop provisioning; livestock provisioning • Nutritional and dietary diversity; increased number of functional traits leads to more resistant and resilient crops • Reduced need for pesticides due to agrobiodiversity-based pest and disease control; complex vegetation structure as filter of pollutants • Increased carbon sequestration through more continuous biomass; increased soil function and carbon sequestration; increased use of legumes reduces need for NPK use • Intercropping and interspecific crop diversity providing habitat and resources for natural enemies. Intraspecific diversity suppressing pests and diseases 1 Bioversity International is increasingly seen as the world’s leading agrobiodiversity research and innovation centre with expertise on conservation and use of agrobiodiversity, working towards healthy diets from sustainable food systems; productive and resilient farms, forests and landscape; and effective genetic resources conservation and use. Biological diversity is vitally important to agriculture, food and nutrition security, as well as to the integrity of the natural resources upon which 1 Attwood et al.

Development of fungicide resistant and more aggressive P. infestans clonal lineages has emphasized the importance of discovering and incorporating new genetic resistance in tomato cultivars. Although the cultivated tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L., contains limited genetic diversity, several related wild species of tomato are suitable for identification of new desirable traits. Previously, 67 S. pimpinellifolium accessions were screened for LB resistance in field, greenhouse and detached leaflet trials and 12 accessions with strong resistance to LB were identified. In this dissertation, two resistant accessions, PI 163245 and PI 224710, were selected for further genetic characterization.

    Introduction Assignment of GLIS Dois to PGRFA Hosted by CGIAR Center

    CGIAR Centers’ use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs): a submission to the Advisory Committee on the Global Information System Introduction This submission has been prepared in response to a request from the Secretary of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources (ITPGRFA), Dr Kent Nnadozie, to the eleven CGIAR Centers that signed Article 15 agreements with the Governing Body of the ITPGRFA. In his letter, the Secretary referred to a request from the Scientific Advisory Committee on the Global Information System (SAC-GLIS), to the Secretariat to: “gather information from GLIS users, including CGIAR Centers and other institutions managing crop germplasm repositories, on the current application of DOIs to crop germplasm in the Multilateral System of Access and Benefit-Sharing for which DSI/GSD are available in compatible information systems” He asked the Centers if they “could provide the Secretariat with information pertinent to the request of the SAC-GLIS”. In preparing this submission, the management team of the Policy Module of the CGIAR Genebank Platform conducted a survey among the eleven Article 15 Centers. All Centers responded to the questionnaire. The following sections provide a summary of their responses. It includes illustrative examples of Centers’ practices using DOIs to date. Assignment of GLIS DOIs to PGRFA hosted by CGIAR Centers’ Current status As of May 21, 2019, GLIS reported that 834,252 DOIs have been minted. Approximately 94% of those DOIs are for materials hosted by CGIAR Centers. CGIAR Centers made it a priority in 2018 to ‘mint’ DOIs for materials in the international collections that they host. The ITPGRFA Secretariat provided excellent technical support.
