Overview
Plant Breeding from Laboratory to Field observes various aspects of plant breeding and a multi-sensor platform for non-destructivefield-based phenotyping in plant breeding. It includes generationof peanut mutants by fast neutron irradiation combinedwith in vitro culture and cytoplasmic male sterility in Brassicaceaecrops. Provide the reader with the insights into the developmentof various laboratory practices adopted for plant breeding so as to understand the potential for current and future contribution of plant genetic improvement technologiesto continue to enhance food security and agricultural sustainability.
Author Bio
Carlos Tello (Valencia, Spain, 1981) studied Agricultural Engineering with specialization in Biotechnology at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, where he graduated with a BSc thesis on the characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant with increased tolerance to seed ageing and salt stress. He moved afterwards to Sevilla to complete his MSc and PhD at the Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología, where he studied the mechanisms employed by plants in their adaptation to abiotic stress and more specifically the role of the Arabidopsis Na+/H+ antiporter SOS1 in the regulation of Na+ and K+ homeostasis. Since 2014, he is based in Zürich and develops several freelance science-related jobs. He has recently retrained himself in the field of cell culture in bioreactors by attending an advanced training course at the Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften.
