This book highlights the recent progress on the applications of mutation breeding technology in crop plants. Plant breeders and agriculturists are faced with the new challenges of climate change, human population growth, and dwindling arable land and water resources which threaten to sustain food production worldwide. Genetic variation is the basis which plant breeders require to produce new and improved cultivars. The understanding of mutation induction and exploring its applications has paved the way for enhancing genetic variability for various plant and agronomic characters, and led to advances in gene discovery for various traits. Induced mutagenesis has played a significant role in crop improvement and currently, the technology has resulted in the development and release of more than 3600 mutant varieties in most of the crop plants with great economic impact. The field of ‘mutation breeding’ has come long way to become an important approach for crop improvement. This book covers various methodologies of mutation induction, screening of mutants, genome editing and genomics advances and mutant gene discovery. The book further discusses success stories in different countries and applications of mutation breeding in food crops, horticultural plants and plantation crops. This informative book is very useful to plant breeders, students and researchers in the field of agriculture, plant sciences, food science and genetics.

With the aim of helping to combat the challenge of providing enough food for the world, this comprehensive three-volume set book, Biotechnologies and Genetics in Plant Mutation Breeding, focuses on improvement of plant agronomic characters by manipulating the genotype of plant species with induced mutagenesis. Volume 3: Mechanisms for Genetic Manipulation of Plants covers the different genetic engineering techniques that are used to mutant genes and to incorporate them in different plant species of cereals, pulses, vegetables, and fruits. Chapters also address in-vitro mutagenesis, which allows specific mutations to be tailored for type and position within the gene. Also discussed is the role of molecular techniques and methods for mutation detection and screening in plants and the role of genetic manipulation of plants and microorganisms and the hazardous impacts on them. There is emphasis on improvement of agronomic characters by manipulating the genotype of plant species, resulting in increase in food crop productivity. Importantly, the principles of genetic engineering in which mechanism and action of transfer of desired genes from plants to animals to microorganism and vice versa are also presented. Volume 1: Mutagenesis and Crop Improvement provides important coverage of mutagenesis, cytotoxicity, and crop improvement in plants along with explanations of the processes, mutagenic effectiveness, and efficiency and mechanisms of mutagenesis. The authors also cover the principles, applications, and scope of mutagenesis. Several chapters focus on mutation-induced cytological aberrations and cytotoxicity and on in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations induced in cell culture. There is also emphasis on improvement of agronomic characteristics by manipulating the genotype of plant species, resulting in increase in productivity by the use of induced mutagenesis. Volume 2: Revolutionizing Plant Biology presents the use of mutagenesis and biotechnology to explore the variability of mutant genes for crop improvement. In this volume, the chapters deal with in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations induced in cell culture. The chapters highlight the importance of in-vitro mutagenesis in inducing salt resistance, heat resistance, and draught resistance.

In the present era various international organizations, such as FAO, UNO, IAEA, FNCA, etc., have unanimously agreed that millions of people in both developing and developed countries are not only facing a shortage of food, but also non-availability of nutrients. The main reason put forward by these agencies is that there is less genetic diversity prevalent in the major crops, which has been further diminished since the inception of conventional plant breeding. Since the first decade of the last century the mutation breeding approach has been pivotal in enhancing the genetic diversity of crops, thereby enriching the genetic pool. ‘Mutagenesis: exploring genetic diversity of crops’ describes the latest achievements in mutation breeding, with a particular focus on the development of novel mutant varieties and F1 hybrids of crops highly superior to the parental ones. The book details experimental as well as literary studies of induced mutagenesis and its role in developing the new potent varieties. The book will be useful for agricultural policy making authorities in countries of agricultural importance, scientific researchers, breeders, teachers and students keen to use mutation breeding and to explore its hidden potential to secure food and nutrient availability for the growing world population.
