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 breeders.
There are only a very limited number of books or other publications with comprehensive treatments of this subject, particularly its principles and technologies, which sometime leads to ambiguous concepts and misuse of scientific terms. This book describes the underlying principles of plant experimental mutagenesis, its associated enabling technologies and its application 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.

Examines information about the genetics of Arabidopsis thaliana, a widely used model plant, including a searchable relational database of genes, proteins, genetic markers, germplasm, microarrays, lab protocols, news, etc. Provides access to a relational database of phylogenetic information, stores phylogenetic trees and the data matrices, and includes bibliographic information on phylogenetic studies. Combines the development, testing, and regulatory review of genetically modified plants, animals, and microorganisms within the U.
SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is. Much has been achieved through classical breeding made possible by the application of Mendelian and statistical genetics. The art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics.
