At year's end will know the complete map of the sunflower genome
February 28, 2012 ? 19:45
The complete genome of sunflower be known in full by year-end, advanced specialists who participated in the International Conference of the oilseed held in Mar del Plata, in the presence of about 650 technicians and researchers around the world. In total, there more than 200 specialists at the last meeting in Spain, largely by the leadership that Argentina has the knowledge of the culture. Advances in the genome of the oilseed overflowed the attention of attendees at this conference 18. Canadian researcher Loren Rieseberg announced progress in sequencing the genome of the sunflower, which will be completed in late 2012 and will begin a new stage in crop improvement, faster and without losing its characteristic of non-transgenic. "Mapping the sequence sunflower genome is a daunting task carried out jointly by researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada, the University of Georgia in the United States and the University of Toulouse in France ", organizers of the conference. Rieseberg, researcher British Columbia University, said the experience in a press conference in the framework of the international meeting. The project includes very complex challenges, as the sunflower genome has a "number of molecules much larger than the genomes of other crop species were deciphered, "said Rieseberg. "We had to make a genetic map containing approximately 2.6 million markers, being probably the most dense map of the planet," he said. During the meeting also discussed the need to strengthen the plant Sunflower from the ravages of the environment, which is another major objective of the researchers. It's about finding genes that defend the drought and temperatures, two of the aspects that work in our country. physiology module put in focus investigations to find answers to the growing water scarcity. Meanwhile, the first speaker was Luis Aguirrez?bal, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Mar del Plata, INTA Balcarce Integrated Unit. The theme was the application of knowledge ecophysiological methods to unravel the genetic basis for tolerance of leaf growth to water deficit in sunflower. also stated that herbicide tolerance is on a second round Carlos Sala, Richard Zollinger, Brigitte Weston and Leon Streit presented the new technologies for weed control in sunflower. As weeds have become a growing problem, researchers began working on new hybrids tolerant to herbicides, and in turn the development of new herbicides that control weeds allowed. At the conference which will in Mar del Plata and Thursday in the Balcarce Integrated Unit, the renowned geneticist Carlos Sala (Nidera) spoke on genetic improvement and herbicide tolerance in sunflower.
