Mutant Screening in Plants

Mutant Screening in Plants

Mutant screening is a powerful technique for identifying genes responsible for specific traits in plants. By generating and analyzing plant mutants, researchers can pinpoint genes linked to growth, development, and stress responses. Techniques such as TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) and CRISPR-Cas9 allow precise identification of mutants with desirable traits. Mutant screening aids in discovering new genes and understanding gene functions, paving the way for crop improvement through genetic enhancement. This approach has revolutionized functional genomics in plants, enabling the development of varieties with enhanced yield, pest resistance, and environmental tolerance.
