Genetic variation is necessary for crop improvement. Induced mutations are a highly effective way of enhancing natural genetic resources and have successfully been used to develop improved cultivars among both seed and vegetatively propagated crops. So far, among more than 2300 officially ...
A change in the genes or chromosomes of an organism. Mutations occurring in the reproductive cells, such as an egg or sperm, can be passed from one generation to the next. Most mutations have harmful effects, but some can increase an organism's ability to survive. A mutation that benefits...
The space-induced mutations and their applications to crop improvement are comprehensively reviewed. Space provides a special environment with supervacu-um, microgravity and strong cosmic radiation. Experimental data showed that space environment conditions may affect plant growth and development as well as...
The historical antecedents, theoretical and practical considerations, and the successes of induced mutations in crop improvement are reviewed along with how induced mutagenesis underpins plant functional genomics. The roles of cell and molecular biology techniques in enhancing the efficiencies for the ...
It was simple to eliminate unusual regenerants that displayed unexpected morphological variation during culture, but somaclonal variation was contentious and has been the subject of ongoing debate [3,4,5,6]. DNA marker-based studies have shown that TCIV is linked to mutations [7], but some ...
It was shown that expression of CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED (CCA1) gene was closely related to redox regulation, and mutations in the core clock regulatory factor CCA1 have been shown to affect ROS homeostasis and the transcriptionally regulated expression of tolerance to oxidative stress of ROS resp...
Alternatively, electrophilically active microbicides such as aldehydes and organometallic compounds act through electrophilic addition or substitution to cause enzyme inactivation [1]. These wide-spectrum biocides, however, could induce more rapid mutations in the microorganism strain, and elevate environmental...
Induced Mutations — An Integrating Tool in Genetics and Plant Breeding An outline of the general scheme of induced mutations is followed by descriptions of (1) induced mutations in plant breeding programmes; (2) higher plant m... M Maluszynski - Springer US 被引量: 27发表: 1990年 Molecular...
Cereal diseases caused by insect-transmitted viruses are challenging to forecast and control because of their intermittent outbreak patterns, which are usually attributed to increased population densities of vector insects due to cereal crop rotations an
