 Michigan
State University (MSU) scientists are looking at the biochemisty of
plants in a research that could lead to plants that are less susceptible
to insects.
In Professor Robert Last's Laboratory, postdoctoral scholar Pengxiang
Fan and undergraduate biochemistry and molecular biology student Abigail
Miller were able to reconstruct the pathway of chemical processes that a
tomato plant uses to create useful compounds called acyl sugars. These
compounds are made in both the garden variety and wild relatives of
tomato plants. The researchers examined how a single cell at the tip of
tiny hairs on these plants ─ called trichomes ─ are able to create
products that protect them from being eaten by insects. The potential of the research is wide-ranging, with possible future applications in plant breeding and other industries. "Understanding this pathway could also allow us to come up with strategies to make these kind of useful compounds in microorganisms or in other plants that don't normally make them," Professor Last said. For more information, read the MSU news release. |

 The first field trial of genetically modified
(GM) potatoes resistant to potato blight conducted in Uganda from
October 2015 to January 2016 has been completed at the Kachwekano Zonal
Agricultural Research and Development Institute (KaZARDI) of the
National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) near Kabale. Twelve highly resistant GM potatoes of ‘Desiree' and one of ‘Victoria' varieties from the International Potato Center (CIP) showed extreme levels of resistance compared to the non-GM plants of the same varieties. Using genetic transformation, three resistance (R) genes from wild relatives (Solanum bulbocastanum, and S. venturii) were transferred into farmers' preferred varieties and the results are encouraging. A number of partially resistant varieties exist, but these are not preferred by farmers and consumers. This first observation of zero-fungicide potatoes marks an important milestone in the development and future deployment of biotech potato varieties to farmers in Africa that will significantly reduce losses and cost of production. In Uganda, losses due to potato late blight can reach up to 60%, forcing farmers to spray fungicides up to 15 times to protect their crops. About 300,000 smallholder households grow potatoes for their subsistence living and income generation. Losses due to late blight represents between 10-25% of their revenue from potato. For more details about this project, contact Dr. Andrew Kiggundu/NARO (akiggundu@kari.go.ug), or Dr. Marc Ghislain/CIP (m.ghislain@cgiar.org). |

 Intrexon Corporation, through its subsidiary Oxitec, and the Piracicaba City Hall have agreed to extend the ‘Friendly Aedes aegypti Project' in Piracicaba, Brazil following strong results for controlling the Ae. aegypti
mosquito population, the primary vector for dengue, chikungunya, and
Zika virus outbreaks around the world. Zika, a rapidly spreading virus,
emerged in Brazil in 2015 and is linked to a sudden increase in birth
defects (microcephaly). The number of children born with microcephaly in
Brazil has now risen to more than 3,500. For this program, Oxitec initiated a new mosquito production facility in Piracicaba that will have the capacity to protect over 300,000 people. Piracicaba's CECAP/Eldorado district became the world's first municipality to partner directly with Oxitec after Brazil's National Biosafety Committee (CTNBio) approved releases throughout the country. In April 2015, self-limiting mosquitoes were released, and by the end of the calendar year, a reduction in wild mosquito larvae by 82% was recorded. Like many invasive insect species, Ae. aegypti's territory is expanding as are the diseases it spreads, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus, which collectively impact over 100 countries and approximately 400 million people globally each year. Today, Brazil has the highest reported incidence of dengue in the Western Hemisphere, and with both chikungunya and Zika virus having entered the country in 2014 and 2015 respectively, the Ae. aegypti mosquito has become an increasing health risk. For more information, read the Oxitec news release. |

An international team of researchers from the University of
Turin (Italy), and the University of California Davis (USA) has
sequenced the genome
of globe artichoke. The globe artichoke was domesticated in the
Mediterranean region, with Italy as the top producing country and has
the richest primary gene
pool. The globe artichoke genome assembly covers 725 of the 1,084 Mb
genome. The sequence codes for about 27,000 genes, which were also
structurally and functionally annotated. Information on timing of
speciation, whole genome duplication and expansion of mobile elements
(2.5 MYA) were also gathered. A new pipeline (SOILoCo, Scaffold Ordering
by Imputation with Low Coverage) was used to anchor the assembled
genome to the 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The globe artichoke is consumed as a food product, but it is also a source of bio-active compounds and can be used for the production of lignocellulosic biomass and seed oil for both edible and biofuel purposes.  The sequence is available in the Globe Artichoke Microsatellite Database. |

Crop Biotech Update

Section: News from Around the World
 The International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) reported that the whole genome assembly of bread wheat,
the most widely grown cereal globally, has been completed. The project
consisted of producing a whole genome assembly of the bread wheat
variety Chinese Spring based on Illumina short sequence reads assembled
with NRGene's DeNovoMAGIC software. It is expected that with this new
data available, global research on crop improvement will be accelerated.
The information on the whole genome assembly will be combined with physical-map based sequence data to produce a high-quality, ordered sequence for each wheat chromosome that precisely locates genes, regulatory elements, and markers along the chromosomes, providing vital tools for wheat breeders. "This new wheat genome sequence generated by the IWGSC and its partners is an important contribution to understanding the genetic blueprint of one of the world's most important crops," said Curtis Pozniak, one of the researchers working on the project. "It will provide wheat researchers with an exciting new resource to identify the most influential genes important to wheat adaptation, stress response, pest resistance, and improved yield." Read the original article from IWGSC. |

 For years, scientists wondered how legumes recognize nitrogen-fixing
bacteria as both friendly and distinct from their own cells, and how
the host plant's specialized proteins find the bacteria. A team of
molecular biologists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst led by
Dong Wang has found how a gene
in the host plant encodes a protein that recognizes the cell membrane
surrounding the symbiotic bacteria, then directs other proteins to
harvest the nutrients. The team looked at the gene SYNTAXIN 132, which encodes receptors (SYP132) that identify cell membranes, and interact with secretory vesicles. They found that the gene usually makes a transcript that always seeks out the plant cell's surface membrane. But if rhizobia are present in the host, that same gene will make a second type of protein that is able to find the membrane surrounding the bacteria. Surprisingly, symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shares the same SYP132 receptor. Scientists now understand that the host membrane – both in legumes and beyond – around the fungal arbuscule has a lot in common with the membrane around the nitrogen-fixing bacteria. For more details, read the news article at the UMassAmherts News and Media Relations. |

 New crop varieties, including three maize, and one each of wheat, green pea, groundnut, sorghum, seedless kinnow, mungbean, and canola were approved during the 54th
meeting of the Punjab Seed Council at the Agriculture House on January
7, 2016. The meeting was chaired by the Agriculture Secretary Muhammad
Sheharyar Sultan. The meeting was convened for the approval of new crop varieties for cultivation. The Punjab Agriculture Secretary also constituted a sub-committee for a complete review of 19 Bt cotton and 2 non-Bt cotton varieties, as well as 11 mango varieties. The Secretary of the Seed Council will head this committee, which, after thorough analysis, will submit recommendations to the provincial secretary of agriculture. The Chairman of Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) Nawab Shahad Ali Khan urged the farmers to grow high yielding approved varieties to make the country self-sufficient in agricultural commodities. He aspired that cotton production in Punjab would be considerably enhanced through cultivation of Bt varieties, which have effective resistance against pests.
