Genetic transformation of major cereal crops

Abstract: Of the more than 50,000 edible plant species in the world, at least 10,000 species are cereal grains. Three major cereal crops, rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays), and wheat (Triticum sp.), provide two-thirds of the world's food energy intake. Although crop yields have improved tremendously thanks to technological advances in the past 50 years, population increases and climate changes continue to threaten the sustainability of current crop productions. Whereas conventional and marker-assisted breeding progr… Show more

“…Maize (Zea mays L.), together with wheat (Triticum aesivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the three most important cereal crops that feed two -third of the world population (Ji et al, 2013). In Sub -Saharan Africa (SSA), maize is a major staple cereal food crop with the significance comparable to rice in South East Asia and wheat in the Middle East.…”

“…The biolistic method offers an effective alternative for the genetic transformation of cereal crops. Several successes, in transient expression of GUS and NPTII genes, have been indeed reported using this transformation method on Triticum eastivum (Jones, 2005;Tassy et al, 2014), Hordeum vulgare (Ji et al, 2013), Saccharum officinarum (Singh et al, 2013), Panicum virgatum (King et al, 2014) and Zea mays (Que et al, 2014;Qamar et al, 2015).…”

“…A variety of techniques such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) method, electroporation method, mild ultrasonication and biolistic have been proposed for genetic transformation of cereals. Some results have been obtained using the direct introduction of DNA into competent protoplasts by polyethylene glycol (PEG) induced uptake Bajaj, 2012;Ji et al, 2013), electroporation (Vasil, 2012;Jordan et al, 2013), followed by the growth of calli and in some cases, the regeneration of transformed plants (Shimamoto et al, 1989;Bajaj and Mohanty, 2005;Bahieldin et al, 2005;Danilova, 2007).…”

“…While several maize genotypes have been effectively transformed (Ji, Xu, & Wang, 2013, Ombori et al, 2014Souza et al, 2017), Hi-II hybrid maize has been widely used for genetic transformation (Zhao et al, 2001;Frame et al, 2002;Frame, Main, Schick, & Wang, 2011;Lee & Zhang, 2016;Nahampun, Lopez-Arredondo, Xu, HerreraEstrella, & Wang, 2016) and is considered the model for maize plant transformation. However, the poor agronomic traits of the Hi-II hybrid (Ishida, Hiei, & Komari, 2007;Que et al, 2014) motivate the search for other maize genotypes that respond well to transformation.…”
