Induced Mutations Unleash the Potentials of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
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 ...

The Mutagenic Impact of Environmental Exposures in Human Cells and Cancer: Imprints Through Time
During life, the DNA of our cells is continuously exposed to external damaging processes. Despite the activity of various repair mechanisms, DNA damage eventually results in the accumulation of mutations in the genomes of our cells.

A systematic review on physical mutagens in rice breeding in Southeast Asia [PDF]
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 ...
