Tóm tắt:Before the turn of the 21st century, experiments in plant mutagenesis were driven by the potential use of mutants in plant improvement. During the past ten years, genomics and molecular techniques have become part of plant mutagenesis research and induced mutants have become an established resource in genomics studies. Although plant-induced mutagenesis has been used widely as a tool in basic studies and practical breeding programmes, it is seldom considered to be an independent subject by plant scientists or plant breed- ers. There are only a very limited number of books or other publications with comprehensive treatments of this subject, particularly its principles and technolo- gies, which sometime leads to ambiguous concepts and misuse of scientific terms. This book describes the underlying principles of plant experimental mutagen- esis, its associated enabling technologies and its appli- cation to research and plant breeding. Examples and success stories are given to illustrate the practicality of methods. In order to understand these and subsequent subjects the reader must become acquainted with the common terminology of the discipline, which is set out below.
