Induced Mutations and Molecular Techniques for Crop Improvement


Overview

More than 60 years have passed since LJ Stadler successfully used radiation to generate genetic variations in plants. Since then a great deal of research has been carried out on the theoretical basis of mutagenesis in plant material. As a result of this research numerous mutant varieties of crop species have been officially released and introduced to the field. The aim of the symposium reported on here was to review current aspects of mutation and molecular biology techniques for use in crop improvement, and to bridge the gap between practical plant breeding and molecular laboratory techniques. To meet the world's food production challenges, use of all available approaches will be crucial.
