Biology:Gene pyramiding

From HandWiki

Gene pyramiding is the simultaneous selection for and/or introduction of multiple genes during plant breeding.[T 1]​ Objectives of gene pyramiding includes 1) enhancing trait performance by combining two or more complementary genes, 2) remedying deficits by introgressing genes from other sources, 3) increasing the durability.[citation needed] For example, pyramiding has been successfully demonstrated in Oryza sativa for rice blast, producing durable multi-race resistance simultaneously.[1] Pyramiding and Marker Assisted Selection can be combined as Marker-Assisted Pyramiding.[2] Gene stacking can be achieved a few different ways, and pyramiding is one of those methods.[T 2]​

It is essentially a way of identifying and introducing multiple genes, which each impart resistance to an independent insect/microbial pest/weed etc., or impart resistance to a single pest through independent host pathways."

Modern biotechnology has broadened the options for stacking to include more taxonomically diverse sources, a wider selection of genes and regulatory elements, and consequently of traits."
