Modernization leads to frequent and remarkable alterations in the environmental factors
which consequently affect the global agricultural productivity. Environmental factors can be …

Mutations are the basis of all genetic variation, and classical plant breeding has exploited
the power of natural mutations in the development of high-yielding varieties. Since the …

DNA damage is the dominant source of mutation, which is the driving force of evolution.
Therefore, it is important to quantitatively analyze the DNA damage caused by different …

The influence of environmental and cultural changes was investigated on both anther
culture and microspore culture of barley cv. Igri. The highest regeneration frequency for both …

This paper describes a new protocol to develop doubled-haploid (DH) Brassica napus lines
with improved resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In this protocol, haploid seedlings …

Doubled haploid (DH) systems have many attractive features for inducing and fixing
mutations. Doubled haploidy provides the fastest route to homozygosity with the greatest …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an annual dicotyledonous tuber crop originating from the
Americas and now distributed all over the world. A member of the Solanaceae family, potato …

Species density is higher in the tropics (low latitude) than in temperate regions (high
latitude) resulting in a latitudinal biodiversity gradient (LBG). The LBG must be generated by …

A major factor affecting spring canola (Brassica napus) production in Canada is killing frosts
during seedling development in the spring and seed maturation in the fall. The objective of …

A microspore mutagenesis protocol was developed for Brassica rapa, Brassica napus and
Brassica juncea for the production of double haploid lines with novel fatty acid profiles in the …
