Researchers at the University of Liverpool, in collaboration with the University of Bristol, and John Innes Centre in Norfolk, were ranked in the entire genome of wheat. Now farmers are DNA information to help them select the most important characteristics of crops on the farm for breeding. The data is currently in a RAW format and progress further and read the notes, plus the installation of the chromosomes of the genetic information necessary for it to be fully implemented. The use of advanced platforms for genome sequencing, but the task is not as difficult as it seems. While sequencing the human genome took 15 years to complete, the genome of wheat in one year. This is due in no small measure to the next generation of U Bristol genome DNA analyzer that can read a hundred times faster than systems that were used to sequence the human genome.
“Wheat genome is five times larger than the human genome and represents a huge challenge for researchers,” said U of Bristol Professor Keith Edwards. “The genome sequences are an important tool for researchers and farmers, since the data publicly available, we will ensure that publicly funded research in a broader sense.”
The reference rate used in the study of Chinese spring wheat. Scientists hope that understanding the genetic differences between varieties with different desired properties, can generate new types of wheat produce better prepared to withstand drought and salinity, and gives better performance. Maybe you can even take the coveted eternal wheat.
“The expectation is that in the next 40 years world food production must increase by 50 percent,” said Dr. Anthony Hall U Liverpool. “The development costs of new, low input, high yield varieties of wheat, it is important to achieve these goals.”
The project is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
