Radiation mutation breeding has been used for nearly 100 years and has successfully
improved crops by increasing genetic variation. Global food production is facing a series of …

Heavy-ion beam irradiation (HIBI) is useful for generating new germplasm in plants and
microorganisms due to its ability to induce high mutagenesis rate, broad mutagenesis …

Heavy‐ion irradiation is a powerful mutagen that possesses high linear energy transfer
(LET). Several studies have indicated that the value of LET affects DNA lesion formation in …

Heavy‐ion beams are widely used for mutation breeding and molecular biology. Although
the mutagenic effects of heavy‐ion beam irradiation have been characterized by sequence …

Sex chromosomes are particularly interesting regions of the genome for both molecular
genetics and evolutionary studies; yet, for most species, we lack basic information, such as …

Heavy‐ion beams have been widely utilized as a novel and effective mutagen for mutation
breeding in diverse plant species, but the induced mutation spectrum is not fully understood …

Heavy-ion beam irradiation is one of the principal methods used to create mutants in plants.
Research on mutagenic effects and molecular mechanisms of radiation is an important …

Ionizing radiation including heavy-ion beams has been widely used in mutation breeding.
Dry seeds, seedlings, and cultured tissues are often used for mutagenesis; however, little is …

Parachlorella kessleri (formerly Chlorella kessleri) can accumulate high levels of both starch
and lipids that can be used for the production of bioethanol and biodiesel, respectively. We …

Enhanced crop production is seriously needed to meet the challenges of food security
imposed by the rapidly increasing human population around the globe. Unpredictable …
