A systematic review on physical mutagens in rice breeding in Southeast Asia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 In the 1920s, Lewis Stadler initiated the introduction of permanent improvements to the genetic makeup of irradiated plants. Since then, studies related to breeding mutations have grown, as efforts have been made to expand and improve crop productivity ...

Induced mutations for studying Mendelian inheritance
Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2022 All genetic variation results from mutations. Orders of magnitude can increase mutation rates by applying irradiation or chemical treatment. Genome editing offers new perspectives for mutation induction because mutation sites can be precisely targeted ...

Induced Mutations Unleash the Potentials of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
Agronomy, 2013 The options for increasing food production by at least 70% over the next four decades so as to keep pace with a rapidly increasing human population are bedeviled by erratic climatic conditions, depleted arable lands, dwindling water resources and by the ...

Impacts of RNA Mobility Signals on Virus Induced Somatic and Germline Gene Editing
Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2022 Viral vectors are being engineered to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 components systemically in plants to induce somatic or heritable site-specific mutations. It is hypothesized that RNA mobility signals facilitate entry of viruses or single guide RNAs (sgRNAs ...

A PCR based protocol for detecting indel mutations induced by TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9 in zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Genome editing techniques such as the zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effecter nucleases (TALENs) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) system Cas9 can induce efficient ...

TILLING to detect induced mutations in soybean
BMC Plant Biology, 2008 Background Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is an important nitrogen-fixing crop that provides much of the world's protein and oil. However, the available tools for investigation of soybean gene function are limited.
