The Handbook of Plant Mutation Screening: Mining of Natural and Induced Alleles

Description

Induced mutagenesis is a common and promising method for screening for new crops with improved properties. This title introduces the different methods and then focuses on the screening, detection and analysis of the novel mutations. Written by a global team of authors the book is an indispensable tool for all scientists working on crop breeding in industry and academia.Content: Chapter 1 Physically Induced Mutation: Ion Beam Mutagenesis (pages 1–16): Shimpei Magori, Atsushi Tanaka and Masayoshi KawaguchiChapter 2 Ds Transposon Mutant Lines for Saturation Mutagenesis of the Arabidopsis genome (pages 17–30): Takashi Kuromori and Takashi HirayamaChapter 3 Use of Mutants from T?DNA Insertion Populations Generated by High?Throughput Screening (pages 31–54): Ralf Stracke, Gunnar Huep and Bernd WeisshaarChapter 4 Making Mutations is an Active Process: Methods to Examine DNA Polymerase Errors (pages 55–82): Kristin A.
