Plant mutation breeding in agriculture.

Abstract: A mutation is a sudden heritable change in the DNA in a living cell, not caused by genetic segregation or genetic recombination. Mutation breeding is the purposeful application of mutations in plant breeding. Unlike hybridization and selection, mutation breeding has the advantage of improving a defect in an otherwise elite cultivar, without losing its agronomic and quality characteristics. Mutation breeding is the only straightforward alternative for improving seedless crops. Since the first release of mutant … Show more

“…After that, a few researchers reported spontaneous variation in plants between 1590 and 1968 [6]. However, the first publications of induced mutations (through X-rays) for the plant breeding was published 89 years ago by Muller and Stadler [7,8]. As a result of these studies, mutation breeding as a new approach was added to other plant breeding methods.…”

“…Ionizing radiation could cause several DNA damages randomly; therefore, several mutations (from point mutation to chromosome aberrations) could be induced. Over 3000 mutant varieties of major crops have been reported to be developed by ionizing radiation [2,16].…”

“…Therefore, they have also been exploited by man in the agricultural processes of species domestication and crop improvement. As a new approach, manipulation of the cultivars through alternative techniques such as mutation breeding and Biotechnology are useful for especially some fully sterile plants [2].…”
