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 …

Nowadays, the value of heavy‐ion mutagenesis has been accepted as a novel powerful
mutagen technique to generate new microbial mutants due to its high linear energy transfer …

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 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 …

Hugo de Vries coined the term 'Mutation'in his classical hypothesis known as
'Mutationtheorie'. Immediately after the discovery of mutagenic effects of X-rays on …

Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is one of the important legume crops in
which all stages of plant growth are used in human food and animal feed. In this study …

Heavy-ion irradiation is a powerful mutagen and is widely used for mutation breeding. In this
study, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) …

Sweet potato is a major root crop with nutritious tuberous roots. The mechanism of tuberous
root development has not yet been adequately elucidated. Genetic resources are required to …

Heavy-ion beam, a type of ionizing radiation, has been applied to plant breeding as a
powerful mutagen and is a promising tool to induce large deletions and chromosomal …

Two growth processes, cell proliferation and expansion, determine plant species-specific
organ sizes. A large flower mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana, ohbana1 (ohb1), was isolated …
