Mutation breeding for crop improvement The Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/International Atomic Energy Agency (FAO/IAEA) Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture assists member countries in the application of radiation-induced @FAO/IAEA / Pierre Lagoda mutation breeding technologies for the improvement of existing and local crop varieties. Through the development of resilient varieties with higher yields, improved quality and greater tolerance to environmental stress, such as disease, drought and salinity, these varieties contribute considerably and sustainably ...
Molecular Plant Editor’s Highlights Next-Generation Crop Breeding Methods Different from conventional labor-intensive and time-consuming restricting direct utilization of genome editing tools for crop breeding approaches such as genetic cross and mutation breeding. screening, new breeding technologies such as double haploid (DH) and CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing can greatly Twostudies recently reported innovative, rapid breeding strate- enhance breeding efciency and accelerate crop improvement. gies combining HI and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing DH technology relies on an inducer line for haploid induction by ...

FEATURES Plant breeding: Induced mutation technology for crop improvement Scientists at the IAEA's Seibersdorf Laboratories are helping breeders to develop crops having more desirable traits present forms of life are the product of found suitable for domestication; humans have by F.J. Novak three factors: used about 3000 of these for food, fibre, spices, and mutation, the fundamental source of heritable etc., with 200 ultimately domesticated as crops. H. Brunner variation, Today, only 15-20 of these are food crops ...
PROBLEMS IN USING INDUCED MUTATIONS IN VEGETATIVELY PROPAGATED PLANTS K.Mikaelsen* ABSTRAK - ABSTRACT PROBLEMS IN USING INDUCED MUTATIONS IN VEGETATIVELY PROPAGATED PLANTS. Conventional breeding techniques are difficult to apply in most vegetativdy propaga- ted plant species. The mutation breeding is therefore very important in these plant species, but practical results have been difficult to obtain due to the problems in recovering the mutated cells in the plant. The importance of various techniques are discussed and the advantage develop- ing ...

Till Abstract Genetic variation is a source of phenotypic diversity and is a major driver of evolutionary diversication. Heritable variation was observed and used thousands of years ago in the domestication of plants and animals. The mechanisms that govern the inheritance of traits were later described by Mendel ...
