Mutation Breeding for Crop Improvement: Genomic Synergy
Received Date: Sep 01, 2025 / Published Date: Sep 29, 2025
Abstract
Mutation breeding remains a cornerstone for crop improvement, utilizing physical and chemical mutagens to induce genetic variation and enhance traits like yield and stress tolerance. Advanced techniques, including genome editing and doubled haploid technology, are being integrated with mutation breeding to accelerate cultivar development. Studies demonstrate the effectiveness of mutagens such as gamma rays and EMS in generating desirable mutations in various crops, with ongoing research focused on optimizing protocols and utilizing molecular markers and next-generation sequencing for efficient mutant identification and selection. These approaches are crucial for developing disease-resistant varieties and improving overall crop productivity for global food security.
